Kit Fine holds that this field can be explained by non-causal dependencies known as "grounds". "Revisionary" and "descriptive" approaches to this field are contrasted in P. F. Strawson's book Individuals. This field titles a book which posits that a statue is different from a lump of bronze by virtue of its cause, illustrating its author's theory of hylomorphism. The thesis that this field "affords us knowledge of a transcendent reality" is rejected as unverifiable in the first chapter of Language, Truth, and Logic. The logical positivists sought to "eliminate" this field which was called "first philosophy" in a namesake book describing the "unmoved mover" written by Aristotle.
