The “image of the future” concept in the categorical field of the phenomenological psychology

The article explicates the "image of the future" concept in the framework of the phenomenological approach to the psychology of individual and collective actors. Generalization, comparison and analysis of the axiomatics of I. Kant, E. Husserl and A. Schutz have allowed the author to define the basic initial assumptions of the phenomenological interpretation of this concept in the modern individual and social psychology. The research makes a contribution to further development of the subject area connected with the subjective temporality and can act as a methodological foundation of the empirical studies in this field.
