Abstract

The paper aims to investigate role of quantum entanglement in contemporary dialogue between science and theology. Philosophical understanding of quantum entanglement and non-locality can be realized in frames of relational holism ontology. Relational holism can be interpreted in a context of Orthodox theology as a reflection of special interconnections between creation and its Creator. This approach was especially expressed such fathers as St. Maximos the Confessor and St. Gregory Palamas. Relational-holistic understanding of creation supposes possibility to explain it in a context of Trinitarian theology of Orthodox tradition and underlines a consonance between scientific and theological approaches to the universe.
