ABSTRACT
To do this, we must have some idea of what we were looking for. In other words, accepting an explanation as an explanation depends heavily upon the goals one had in the first place. A proposed explanation is an explanation if it relates to one's implicit goals. Thus, if one has the goal of being a millionaire one would require a different explanation of our sentence about American millionaires than if one were a communist who was intent on proving the inadequacy of capitalism. Explanation depends upon goals.
