Abstract
This paper considers some ways in which quantum particles may be thought of as “vague objects” in the context of a naturalistic approach to metaphysics. It is optimistic about making some connections with the mainstream vague objects literature, for example, E. J. Lowe’s “referential indeterminacy with an ontic source”. Going further, in particular, connecting that literature with the “nonindividuals” approach of Steven French and Decio Krause is more problematic, and indeed there are grounds for skepticism about the metaphysical basis of nonindividuality even from a naturalistic perspective. Nevertheless, the general idea is defended against a charge of a priori incoherence, and some lines are sketched along which it might be elaborated.
