Anticipation (philosophy)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anticipation (from the Latin anticipatio = preconceived notion - about the gods) means in philosophy the anticipation and preliminary recognition of a sentence as true.

This anticipation takes place in the expectation of a later justification. With the Stoics and Epicureans , anticipations were innate ideas . The Greek name for this anticipation was prolepsis .

Immanuel Kant (in KrV B 208 f.) Calls anticipations of perception those cognitions by which what belongs to empirical cognition can be recognized and determined a priori , namely space and time in terms of size and shape .
