Abstract

One of the most important elements of studying scientific disciplines and their differences from each other is the issue of method. Methodology is a branch of science that studies this issue. The importance of method and methodology is due to the worldview based on the philosophy of modern period; therefore, when there are different philosophical principles, the scope of subjects, problems, methods and as a result the methodology of knowledge will also be different. Based on the study, description and analysis of the data obtained from Islamic futures studies and inspired by the "normative-cognitive framework", this research has explained the methodology of futures studies studies and some of its methods. Therefore, the method and methodology in the futures studies requires a framework of foundations based on Islamic concepts. This framework is a set of general metaphysical principles, specific principles related to knowledge, processes, and as a result, methods and means of realization according to this consistent paradigm, which can be a basis for theorizing, method, methodology, and methods of action. The common methodological principle of futures studies is the combined validity of revelation, rational and experimental methods and it is divided into two categories of "text-oriented" and "non-text-oriented" methods. Sonnat-pajhohi, Ayat-pajhohi and Barnameh-pajhohi are examples of the mentioned methods.
