Abstract
The aim of this book is to establish anticipation of the future as a legitimate topic of research. Anticipation comes in different guises. As a lay term it refers to all forward-looking attitudes and activities. As a technical term, we shall use it in two different acceptations, as the third level of futures studies after forecast and foresight modelling and as the qualifier ‘anticipatory’ in the expression ‘anticipatory systems’.
