‘Meta-’ because of the way it integrates material, data, ideas, tools, etc. from a wide variety of sources; and ‘discipline’ because when done well it clearly supports disciplined enquiry into the constitution of human futures.

Slaughter was also instrumental in an important consolidation of the language and concepts of futures studies in the mid-1990s. He recognized a need to begin to cohere the growing body of futures literature and to create a series of edited books The Knowledge Base of Futures Studies. Cautioning readers to not fall into the trap of seeing this as a codification of the field, Slaughter pulled together, over several years, contributions from dozens of futures scholars and practitioners, globally. Slaughter highlighted important elements in the first three volumes as being language, concepts, and metaphors; theories, ideas, and images; literature; organizations, networks, and practitioners; methodologies and tools; and social movements and innovations.
