Anticipation: Learning from the Past

Abstract

This paper investigates the dominance theory articulated by A.A. Ukhtomsky (1875–1942). This theory is one of the earliest attempts to scientifically study the relationships of life and mind, and human behavior in particular. Ukhtomsky anteceded some ideas of cybernetics and synergetics, as shown in our previous works. On the other hand, one of the main problems analyzed by Ukhtomsky is the capacity of anticipation evident in the behavior of living beings. This work is devoted to the problem of anticipation from the viewpoint of the dominance concept.

There is no such force, even within “positive science,” that could free man from the burden of moral freedom.
