...This chapter undertakes some observations of the Third Man Argument (TMA). Although the two basic assumptions upon which the TMA rests are inconsistent — for by Non-Identity the Form is not an instance of itself and by Self-Exemplification it is — it is argued that the TMA need not be presented...

The four versions of Thesis A are: A(i) Plato's concepts of homonymy and eponymy show that the ‘F’ in ‘F-ness is F’ functions as a proper name; A(ii) the Form is a particular and a standard, but Wittgenstein has taught us that such a standard cannot be described as an instance...

...Fine argues that this One over Many Argument is different from the one already discussed in Ch. 10. It differs in that it is a valid argument for the existence of forms and also in that the premises lead to the Third Man Argument; neither point is true of the earlier One over Many Argument. In fact...

...The Third Man Argument is a regress argument that purports to show that if there is even one form of F, then there are infinitely many forms of F. That a regress can be identified is in itself an objection to the theory of forms because forms ought to be unique...

...Much of the recent literature published on Plato's metaphysics has involved the Third Man Argument found in his dialogue Parmenides. This argument depends upon construing Forms both as universals and as paradigm examples, and thus as being subject to self-predication. This book first presents a new...

...If Plato is committed to the premises of the Third Man Argument, he is vulnerable to the Third Man Argument. Fine has argued that Plato is committed to self‐predication (in a broad sense); hence, if he is not vulnerable to the Third Man Argument, he must not be committed to either one or the other...
