 Broadening Dasgupta’s distinction, there are two questions about the scope of metaphysical explanation to consider. First, which (types of) facts have metaphysical explanations—all, none, or something in the middle? Second, of those that lack metaphysical explanations, which (types of) facts are not apt to be metaphysically explained at all? Dasgupta suggests that facts about essence are autonomous facts (2016: 385). Other philosophers have challenged the idea that facts about essences are ungrounded, and so have opened the door to facts regarding essences having metaphysical explanations (see Tillman 2016, Glazier 2017, Raven 2021).
