Never before was anticipation more relevant to the life and
activity of humankind than it is today. "It is no overstatement to
suggest that humanity's future will be shaped by its capacity to
anticipate...." (Research Agenda for the 21st Century, National
Science Foundation). The sciences and the humanities can no longer
risk explaining away the complexity and interactivity that lie at
the foundation of life and living. The perspective of the world
that anticipation opens justifies the descriptor "the
post-Cartesian Revolution." If anticipation is a valid research
domain, what practical relevance can we await? Indeed, anticipation
is more than just the latest catch-word in marketing the apps
developed by the digital technology industry. Due to spectacular
advances in the study of the living, anticipation can claim a
legitimate place in current investigations and applications in the
sciences and the humanities. Biology, genetics, medicine, as well
as politics and cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences, provide
rich evidence of anticipatory processes at work. Readers seeking a
foundation for an ticipation will find in these pages recent
outcomes pertinent to plant life, political anticipation, cognitive
science, architecture, computation. The authors contributing to
this volume frame experimental data in language that can be shared
among experts from all fields of endeavor. The major characteristic
is the inference from the richness of data to principles and
practical consequences.
