I PROPOSE a way of understanding the self-predication premise of the third man argument which Plato used against himself. The way I propose fulfills some of the desiderata for a good interpretation of Plato: it is not unreasonable by itself; it is formally consistent with the other premises of the third man, singly and jointly;' it could have seemed that the argument containing the premise was a serious threat to the theory of forms, as Plato evidently feared (Parmenides I 35A-B). I do not, however, intend to say that therefore my proposal gives what Plato meant. Section VI explains what I do intend
