  Recent experiments have perfectly verified the fact that quantum correlations
between two entangled particles are stronger than any classical, local
pre-quantum worldview allows. This is famously called the EPR paradox first
conceived as a thought experiment and decades later realized in the lab. We
discuss in depth the nature of the paradox and show that the problematics it
presents is first and foremost epistemological. After briefly exploring
resolutions to the paradox that after many decades of discourse still remain
controversial, we argue that the paradox is rooted in the failure of our
current metaphysical scheme, being the foundation of our knowledge, to
accommodate and cohere our knowledge of the phenomena of entanglement. We then
develop and make the case for a novel and more fundamental resolution of the
paradox by changing the underlying metaphysical foundation from one based on
individuals to a one based on individuation. We discuss in detail how in the
light of this new scheme concepts central to the paradox such as realism,
causality and locality are adjusted to the effect that the paradox is resolved
without giving up these concepts so fundamental to our thinking. We conclude
with a brief note about the important role of metaphysics to the progress of
knowledge and our understanding of reality.
