Hello everyone, I am a newbie to the category theory. While reading some paper about infinite Galois theory, the 'anti-equivalence' of two categories showed up. Could anyone give me a 'good' explanation what this means? Thanks a lot.

All it means that one of the categories is equivalent to the opposite of the other.

Wikipedia has informative pages on opposites of categories and equivalences of categories:
