Introduction to Anticipation Studies

More about the book

Focusing on the theory of anticipation, this book legitimizes the study of how future expectations influence decision-making. It delves into anticipatory behavior across various systems, addressing its implications without contradicting established concepts of time and causation. The text reviews interdisciplinary research, linking anticipation to futures studies, and outlines its ontological framework. It discusses systems, complexity, and the modeling relation, while simplifying technical concepts for accessibility. Ultimately, it culminates in the establishment of a "Discipline of Anticipation."
