A great number of deep philosophical questions are related to futures studies. In this text, we tackle some of those questions. For the sake of clarity, we have chosen six sub-fields of philosophy that contain central questions that

(i) futures studies must take into account or

(ii) define how futures studies is conducted.

We chose to present three questions about each subfield of philosophy that are related to futures studies. With regards to each subfield, one of the questions concerns philosophy of futures studies (how we think about future possibilities) and two of the questions concern philosophy in futures studies (what we think about future possibilities). In other words, in each subsection that follows, one of the questions is about us as futures researchers and two of the questions dig into the assumptions and ideas or thoughts we have about the future itself.
