Abstract

Based on Sperber and Wilson’s (1995) relevance theory, I outline in this paper a goal conciliation theory in order to describe and explain the formulation and evaluation of ante-factual abductive hypotheses in proactive contexts. With an example in which an individual intends to open a locked door, I present this conceptual architecture in four stages – goal designing, and hypothesis formulation, execution and checking; and also explain conciliation processes in contexts of categorical, biconditional, conditional, enabling, and tautological ante-factual abductive hypotheses.
