Book Description

Anticipation-The End Is Where We Start From (English-German-French text).
An introduction to the topic of Anticipation by Mihai Nadin; book design by internationally renown designer Uwe Loesch. Baden, Switzerland: Lars Mueller Publishers, 2003, 128 pp.


We are all familiar with the word “anticipation.” And we find many manifestations of anticipation in daily life. Plans, along with creativity in art and design and in the search for knowledge, are forms of anticipation. Anticipation challenges the cause-and-effect paradigm that rules in the physical sciences. Anticipation means that the cause lies in the future.

Mihai Nadin’s text is as thought-provoking as Uwe Loesch’s book design. The mixing of three media—book, a prize-winning DVD (enclosed), and the Website dedicated to Anticipation—introduces a new dimension. Publication is not an end. It becomes a beginning to the continuous process of sharing and building knowledge.
