Abstract

Igor V. Berestov suggested a number of thought experiments supposed to substantiate double ontology – the ontological view according to which a moving object exists both in time and space, and beyond time and space. In this article, I show that his argument in favor of double ontology can also be used in favor of multiontology of any complexity. However, this argument contains circulus vitiosus, which makes it heuristically vacuous. Besides, I show an ambiguity in Berestov’s use of some expressions in his description of the thought experiments, and demonstrate that some aspects of his ontology of manifestations beg question
