Abstract

Recent development in the understanding of conceptual foundations of quantum theory is discussed, giving a particular attention to the analysis of the so called Schroedinger’s cat paradox. The solution of this problem in the frameworks of Everett-Wheeler many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is considered as well as the philosophical and theological consequences following from this interpretation. The recommendations are given concerning the use of problems, related with the conceptual foundations of quantum theory, in the educational process when introducing students and senior class pupils into the problems of dialogue between science and religion.
