Foresight principle
Origin: Lat. praevisĭo, -ōnis.principĭum
A book by Richard Slaughter, in which he argues “…we require a different principle, one that has not yet been properly deployed, at the social level, i.e. the foresight principle. Without it, late industrial cultures may very likely collapse in chaos. With it and a measure of wisdom, these same cultures can move on to new stage of civilized life.” He also argues that the present cannot be properly understood without considering future extensions and implications available through foresight.
Spanish: Principio prospectivo
