Recent experiments have perfectly verified the fact that quantum correlationsbetween two entangled particles are stronger than any classical, localpre-quantum worldview allows. This is famously called the EPR paradox firstconceived as a thought experiment and decades later realized in the lab. Wediscuss in depth the nature of the paradox and show that the problematics itpresents is first and foremost epistemological. After briefly exploringresolutions to the paradox that after many decades of discourse still remaincontroversial, we argue that the paradox is rooted in the failure of ourcurrent metaphysical scheme, being the foundation of our knowledge, toaccommodate and cohere our knowledge of the phenomena of entanglement. We thendevelop and make the case for a novel and more fundamental resolution of theparadox by changing the underlying metaphysical foundation from one based onindividuals to a one based on individuation. We discuss in detail how in thelight of this new scheme concepts central to the paradox such as realism,causality and locality are adjusted to the effect that the paradox is resolvedwithout giving up these concepts so fundamental to our thinking. We concludewith a brief note about the important role of metaphysics to the progress ofknowledge and our understanding of reality.
