Series: Routledge Research in Anticipation and Futures

This edited collection highlights the valuable ontological and creative insights gathered from anticipation studies, which orients itself to the future in order to recreate the present.

The gathered essays engage with many writers from speculative metaphysics to poetic philosophy, ancient writing systems to the fringes of pataphysics. The book situates itself as a creative intervention in and with various thinkers, designers, artists, scientists and poets to offer insight into ways of anticipating. It brings together philosophical practices for which creativity is both a fundamental area of consideration and a mode of working, a characterization of recent Continental Philosophy which takes a departure from traditional futures studies thinking.

This book will be of interest to scholars and research in futures studies, anticipation, philosophy, creative practice and theories about creative practice, as well as the intersections between philosophy, creativity and business.

Reviews for A Creative Philosophy of Anticipation: Futures in the Gaps of the Present

There is a societal need to diversify our thinking about the future, moving beyond the troubled metaphors of blank slates, open roads and sleek machinery. This collection seeks to broaden and deepen our philosophical understanding of anticipation, helpfully questioning how creativity and imagination can serve to reframe the present.
