Abstract

The paper provides a systematic assessment of wavefunction mereological priority monism, the combination of priority mereological monism and wavefunction realism. Such a combination has been recently discussed and defended both in philosophy of physics and metaphysics. I argue that such a combination threatens to undermine the master arguments in favour of its components. Furthermore, wavefunction mereological priority monism entails controversial consequences for both mereology and location. In the light of the above, I explore different ways to resist the arguments and different combinations of monism and realism about the wavefunction.
