Abstract

The central argument in this essay is that while the concept of entanglement offers materialism the promise of a conceptually rich field of new "entangled"entities, by itself, entanglement is ill-equipped to contend with the thorny questions of how power is organized among those entities. This essay proposes that decoherence provides a welcome complement to entanglement.
