One of the earliest of these was proposed by Werner Heisenberg, one of the theory’s founding figures, who suggested that such foundations might be found in Aristotle’s metaphysics, particularly in the concepts of potentiality (dunamis) and actuality (energeia). Although this perspective has since evolved into various dispositional interpretations of quantum mechanics, little attention has been paid to what these metaphysical foundations would indeed look like when grounded in Aristotle’s original philosophy, a project Heisenberg outlined only in broad strokes. Drawing on the author’s previous work, this lecture will explore the historical and philosophical dimensions of an Aristotelian interpretation of quantum mechanics, aiming to remain as faithful as possible to Aristotle’s metaphysical framework.
