UNREMARKABLE CONTEXTUALISM - DISPOSITIONS IN THE BOHM THEORY

One way to characterize dispositions is to take them to be reducible t o categorical properties plus experimental arrangements. We argue that this view applied to Bohm's ontological interpretation of quantum the ory provides a good picture of the unremarkable nature of spin in that interpretation, and so explains how a simple realism of possessed val ues may be retained in the face of Kochen and Specker's theorem. With this in mind we discuss Redhead's influential analysis of Kochen and S pecker's theorem which does not appear to allow for the above view.
