by anticipating them (and, perhaps, forestalling or evading them?) Explanation: This is puzzling at face value, but I suspect that the author was thinking of the German verb "erwarten", which, as well as await, means expect. Perhaps he was thinking of "anticipating" antonomies, in the sense of "seeing them coming": someone might gain power by anticipating antinomies, and thus, by implication, evading them. But I am not by any means fully confident of having understood what the author is saying. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2015-08-22 10:52:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I must admit that this interpretation is quite close to the idea of "dodging" the antonomies, mentioned just before this. Perhaps the implicit idea here is the "forewarned is forearmed": one can gain power by expecting or anticipating the existing antinomies, so that one is ready to face and overcome them. |
