Abstract

Three objections against some claims put forward in Berestov’s paper are presented: 1) I. V. Berestov’s presentation of ‘the paradox of meeting’ contains a flaw. Fixing that flaw eliminates the paradox. 2) his ontological view that spatio-temporal objects exist not only in space and time but also out of them is not sufficiently grounded. 3) his attribution of that ontological view to P. Benacerraf is incorrect.
