Anticipation is a routine crisis in the pursuit of knowledge, which is how to deal with the unforeseen.
Anticipation is a term referring to the way in which that which is merely co-presented is presented in perceptual experience.
Anticipation is possible only in that da-sein, as existing, always already comes toward itself.
Anticipation is where fear lies; not in the thing itself. There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it.
Anticipation is at the center of perception. When we perceive an object, that perceiving is always accompanied by the anticipation that the object has features that go far beyond what we anticipate, features that we have never thought about and that are not even tacitly anticipated, and that, as we go on examining the object, walk around it, turn it around, explore it with our various senses or with scientific instruments, our anticipations always go beyond what 'meets the eye' or our other senses.
An Anticipation is not something we are aware of, but rather is something tacitly taken over from our culture and never thought about, even bodily settings, which we would have great difficulty describing in words even if we should be made aware of them.
Anticipation is subjective in the listener but objective in the reader who is able to, if he chooses, read the end of a letter or novel before reading the earlier parts.
Anticipation is used by great artist instead of surprise because surprise is merely an instrument of the unusual, whereas anticipation of a consequence enlarges our understanding of what is happening.
