CHAOS AND DETERMINISM: PREDICTION AND ANTICIPATION – A CONCEPTUAL DISTINCTION (AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL APPROACH)

Summary/Abstract: Chaos and Determinism: Prediction and Anticipation – a Conceptual Distinction (An Epistemological Approach). Today, it is difficult to find much unanimity in what is “the prediction”. New mathematical theories (Fractal Geometry and Chaos Theory) offer the support for an epistemological investigation of (un)predictability. Chaos breaks across the lines that separate the scientific predictions. Chaos poses new conceptual problems in philosophy. Prediction and Anticipation is a conceptual distinction between numerical predictions and geometrical (morphological) `predictions`. Anticipation means to see what kind of theoretical picture one could develop. Conceptual analysis on a philosophical level is an operational way to clarify the so called ‘deterministic chaos`.
