Tiivistelmä: | This article deals with the use of new paradigm of complexity for futures research . The introduction of the ideas of complex thinking in futures research has been characterised by epistemological lacunae and contradictions in fact. The main shortcomings derive from the superficial application of physical concepts to social sciences and univocal theoretical approach to futures studies. The methodology of social sciences, instead, can help us to find critical arguments and correct indications for consistent futures research. |
