It is often said that in relativistic quantum physics, a fundamental particle ontology is not viable. However, previous works have shown that certain relativistic quantum field theories can be reformulated as path integrals over particle configurations. Drawing on these works, I argue that a fundamental particle ontology is actually viable in relativistic quantum physics.
