摘要

Tim Raz has presented what he takes to be a new objection to Stewart Shapiro's ante rem structuralism (ARS). Raz claims that ARS conflicts with mathematical practice. I will explain why this is similar to an old problem, posed originally by John Burgess in 1999 and Jukka Keranen in 2001, and show that Shapiro can use the solution to the original problem in Raz's case. Additionally, I will suggest that Raz's proposed treatment of the situation does not provide an argument for the in re over the ante rem approach.
