A proposal for a Bohmian ontology of quantum gravity
Bohmian mechanics loop quantum gravity emergence of space-time non-local law primitive ontology Wheeler-DeWitt equation
2016/6/15
The paper shows how the Bohmian approach to quantum physics can be applied to develop a clear and coherent ontology of non-perturbative quantum gravity. We suggest retaining discrete objects as the pr...
Bohmian mechanics without wave function ontology
Bohmian mechanics quantum mechanics quantum potential wave function explanation causation
2016/6/15
In this paper I critically assess different three-dimensionalist interpretations of Bohmian mechanics in order to evaluate the prospects of interpreting Bohmian mechanics without committing to a wave ...
The GRW flash theory:a relativistic quantum ontology of matter in space-time?
Bell’s theorem Bohmian mechanics collapse of the wave-function dispositionalism GRW flash GRW mass density Humeanism Lorentz-invariance primitive ontology propensities relativistic collapse theory
2016/6/13
John Bell proposed an ontology for the GRW modification of quantum mechanics in terms of flashes occurring at space-time points. The paper spells out the motivation for this ontology, enquires into th...
Mathematical Facts in a Physicalist Ontology
physicalism mathematical truth formalism formal system physical theory empiricism
2016/5/31
If physicalism is true, everything is physical. In other words, everything supervenes on, or is necessitated by, the physical. Accordingly, if there are logical/mathematical facts, they must be necess...
What can we Learn about the Ontology of Space and Time from the Theory of Relativity
space time relativity
2016/5/30
This chapter presents an opinionated assessment of what we can learn about the ontology of space and time from the special and general theories of relativity. It uses the requirements of novelty, mode...
The ontology of Bohmian mechanics
Bohmian mechanics dispositionalism Humeanism law of motion non-locality primitive ontology wave-function
2016/5/30
The paper points out that the modern formulation of Bohm’s quantum theory known as Bohmian mechanics is committed only to particles’ positions and a law of motion. We explain how this view can avoid t...
Primitive Ontology and the Structure of Fundamental Physical Theories
Quantum theories primitive ontology wave function ontology symmetry properties
2016/5/27
For a long time, it was believed that it was impossible to be realist about quantum mechanics. It took quite a while for the researchers in the foundations of physics, beginning with John Stuart Bell ...
Predictions and Primitive Ontology in Quantum Foundations:A Study of Examples
quantum theory without observers Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber (GRW) theory of spontaneous wave function collapse Bohmian mechanics many-worlds view of quantum mechanics
2016/5/27
A major disagreement between different views about the foundations of quantum mechanics concerns whether for a theory to be intelligible as a fundamental physical theory it must involve a “primitive o...
GRW as an ontology of dispositions
dynamical reduction models causal properties dispositions
2009/11/18
The paper argues that the formulation of quantum mechanics proposed by Ghirardi, Rimini and Weber (GRW) is a serious candidate for being a fundamental physical theory and explores its ontological comm...
GRW as an ontology of dispositions

2009/9/16
The paper argues that the formulation of quantum mechanics proposed by Ghirardi, Rimini and Weber (GRW) is a serious candidate for being a fundamental physical theory and explores its ontological comm...
In 1969, Quine enjoined philosophers to leave matters of ontology to the determination of scientists with the suggestion that a thorough-going naturalism – a philosophical position he considered to be...
This paper investigates Newton’s ontology of space in order to determine its commitment, if any, to both Cambridge neo-Platonism, which posits an incorporeal basis for space, and substantivalism, whic...
“Ontological emergence” of inherent high-level properties with causal powers is witnessed nowhere. A non-substantialist conception of emergence works much better. It allows downward causation, provide...
Effect of Working Ontology on Some Conceptual Puzzles
Working Ontology Paradoxes Puzzles Realism Measurement Problem
2008/3/31
This essay examines the effects of a change from traditional to working ontology on some conceptual problems that are under discussion in the literature : the liar paradox, the announced surprise para...
This paper investigates Newton’s ontology of space in order to determine its commitment, if any, to both neo-Platonism, which posits an incorporeal basis for space, and substantivalism, which regards ...
