If the history studies guide the time direction in the past, the futures studies guide the future. The indirect effect is a linkage of the research of future studies, the past time becomes the possible varied items to inference the future, and various concepts of Weber’s historical development turn into variable items. We take the concepts of past history and current occurrence as the possibility to inference the future. All concepts are independent from specific time, space, history or cultural system, just as that “structure”, “function”, “conflict”, “class”, and “social fluid” are parts of history substantiality. Those concepts apply to explain the social phenomenon with different history background. In the process of whole study and analysis, to probe into the relationship between varied items is the part of core.
Weber though the affect of philosophy is to release sociology from wrong knowledge of metaphysics, and give real scientific position in the time of that sociology is followed the scientific investigation. Currently, the direction that the future studies face is some like the position of sociology at that time. The future studies have just developed more than 10 years until now, and if it would like to become a conscientious science with academic achievement, it still needs to make effort. What is a conscientious science with academic achievement? Most important of all, the answer is to have a pure philosophy thinking ability in methodology I think.
Weber took the sociology thought to the pure philosophy thinking ability, which is deviated from the basic method of sociology. It faces the concept problem of human society formation by not only scientific problem but also philosophic problem. In Weber’s eyes, science is a measure of value that people can use and adopt, and methodology is a important criterion to bring sociology into conscientious science. In order to let future studies become a linkage of science, the author tries to probe into the methodology of future studies by the view of Weber.
