We argue that pursuing the aim of building satisfactory "views of quantum reality", or "quantum ontologies", is epistemologically legitimate and not subject to no-go theorems. The question as to what extent existing interpretations may be considered satisfactory from this point of view is dealt with on the basis of criteria elaborated within the post-Kantian philosophical tradition. The aim may also prove worth the effort from a purely scientific point of view, although it may imply such radical changes of the ordinary ways of thinking as to require very long times.
