•    How can we understand the claim that properties are both dispositional and qualitative?

•    What is the proper definition of qualitativity and dispositionality in the context of the Powerful Qualities View?

•    How can we understand the relation between powerful qualities and the dispositions of their bearers?

•    What is the role of laws of nature in the context of the Powerful Qualities View?

•    Is Identity Theory the only viable version of the Powerful Qualities View?
