Superfuturism is a philosophical theory according to which history begins in the future. In other words , only in the future the essences of things are determined.This is why superfuturism analyzes the different concepts in terms of the future.For example, superfuturism claims that truth is the scientific decision in the future.

Now, since truth is the scientific decision in the future, and given that the future is not completely realized in the present and the past, it follows that we should continue searching for the truth. This is how superfuturism guarantees the continuity of the scientific inquiry and expresses the fact that science is a continuous endeavor. This is the first virtue of superfuturism.

In addition , since truth is the scientific decision in the future, and scientific decisions are carried out by scientists, it follows that truth is conceptually linked to humans, and thus, it is possible for us to know the truth . This is how superfuturism guarantees the possibility of knowledge, and this is its second virtue . Furthermore, since truth is the scientific decision in the future, and science represents reality, it follows that truth corresponds to reality . This is how superfuturism is able to express the conceptual connection between truth and reality , and thus it acquires its third virtue. In light of these virtues, it seems that superfuturism is acceptable.

Superfuturism differs from futurism. While futurism studies the future in light of the present and the past, superfuturism studies the present and the past in light of the future. Superfuturism relies on the future in order to understand what is occurring in the present and what happened in the past. And it does that through analyzing the different concepts in terms of the future.
