In this paper the Author intends to present the work of Jerome Bruner from the particular angle of the concept of anticipation. After having duly traced the biographical and scientific profile of the scientist, the Author shows how anticipation is a red thread that joints early youthful works up to those written in the last period of his life. The concept of anticipation then introduces that of expectation of a norm and that violation of the norm and how the person should consider them appropriately to produce new knowledge. Therefore Jerome Bruner was an anticipatory in his theories but also the anticipation was the pivotal concept in these theories, as they propose an idea of person capable of surprise in front of the incongruities of reality.

Jerome Bruner's contribution to understanding human psychological functioning is manifold. In this commentary I focus on his suggestion that human action is always purposeful and directed towards imagined goals, and interrogate the contributions made by Salvatore and Fasulo in light of this idea. I develop further the ideas discussed in these papers to propose a conceptualisation of future-orientedness of human meaning-making, and discuss how narrating as a process of creating and enacting possibilities for the future could be understood.
