The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive guide to the metaphysics of Bohmian mechanics. Bohmian mechanics is a quantum theory that describes the motion of particles following trajectories that are determined by the quantum wave-function. The key question that the theory has to face relates to the ontological interpretation of the quantum wave-function. The main debate has mostly centered around two opposing views, wave-function realism on the one hand, and the nomological view on the other hand. The supporters of the former believe that the wave-function is a physical field living in a high-dimensional space; the supporters of the latter regard the wave-function as just an entity that appears in the laws of nature and lacks physical status. This monograph discusses both views open-mindedly, illuminating their tacit problems and providing new insight into how they can be overcome. Moreover, it discusses the structuralist view, which is often neglected and which can be regarded as a reconciliation of the two main opposing camps.

How do quantum theories force us to revise our picture of the fundamental nature of reality? This book outlines a range of ways to address the fundamental weirdness of quantum mechanics, from holism and nonlocality to higher dimensions. Alyssa Ney defends one approach to answering this question, based on an early suggestion of Schrodinger - to take the quantum wave function as a real field that ultimately constitutes the rest of our reality.
