| Abstract | This contribution aims to offer a coherent ontology for the Aristotelian Pilot-wave theory. In the first part, I explain the twofold role of the wave function, which, on one hand, represents a field that performs a force on the particles, and, on the other hand, generates the possible trajectories of the particles. I point out how these two roles generate a tension in Valentini’s ontological account of the wave-field and I propose a way to solve this tension, by reformulating the concept of force as active dispositions of the field. In the last part, I defend the notion of force in Valentini’s pilot-wave theory and I discuss the problem of the violation of the third Newtonian law that the theory has to face. |
