The main idea in the article is intertwined with the fact that futurological conclusions become an integral part of our daily life, which leads to a change in the understanding of its value. In the history of human development, time has become the main concept of culture. The philosophical understanding of time divides it into the past, present, and future, and the historical understanding divides it into epochs. One of the features of the worldview of the Kazakh people is the vision not so much of the connection of the present with the past, but of the present with the future. The cultural and social phenomena of modernity determine the direction of trends shaping the future. Perhaps, being still in the space of mythological consciousness, a person looks into the future in two ways – with anxiety and hope. Despite the irrational nature of
futurological forecasts, they also require a scientific vision. And this is due to the danger of future cataclysms and catastrophes. And for a person, his life is valuable. He needs faith in a bright future. The way to it is through the upbringing of descendants, and as a reward – the formation of a new conscious generation. The Kazakh people say that the name of a good person, the work of a scientist do not pass without a trace. And this is the belief in the future, in spiritual immortality. In the article we tried to convey the idea that looking into the future will help answer a lot of philosophical questions.
