Abstract:

Prognostics is a young science, not formed as yet. Its subject is methods of making forecasts, and its objects of application are social phenomena, economics, science, technology, etc. It is shown that the Marxist- Leninist philosophy in particular is the genuine basis of scientific predictions and the cornerstone of macro- and microprognoses. The report attempts to attract the attention of the scientific community to prognostics and to show that there is already available an adequate number of prognosing methods which can successfully be applied in research and practical work.
