History is study of the past. I have never seen anyone mention futurey. The opposite of the past is the future, but we cannot really study it definitely as we do the past. Science fiction speculates about what occur in the future. This is the best opposite i see. Some psychics and other fruds claim to predict the future, but they are trying to con us.

History is His Story. So the opposite would be Her Story. If there were such a thing.

The word history means a written human record. Prehistoric therefore refers to the time before written human records existed. So there is no real opposite to history although prediction or prognostication might come closest to being opposite in meaning.

I've heard the term futurist used a lot lately to describe someone attempting to make educated, logical prediction of future developments. So maybe you could use the term futurism.
I'm pretty sure their is not a commonly accepted term for what you're looking for.

I guess you could make a case that clairvoyance would be the opposite of history. After all, that would be knowing the future instead of the past.

scientific philosophy, cuz they always say whats gonna happen in the future so thats the opposite of telling what happened in the past. but scientists can never be sure, but anyway, thats the closest thing u can get.
