«ΚΑI OΤΙ EΣΤΙ ΤΙΣ ΤΡΙΤΟΣ AΝΘΡΩΠΟΣ» (Aristotelis sophistici elenchi 22 178b36–179a10). Prolegomena to ancient history of the argument of 'third man'

Summary/Abstract: Few arguments from the past have stirred up as much interest as Aristotle’s ‘Third man’ and not so many texts have received as much attention as its account in chapter 22 of the Sophistici elenchi. Yet, several issues about both remain highly controversial, starting from the very nature of the argument at stake and the exact signification of some of its features. The paper provides a close commentary of the text, dealing with its main difficulties and suggesting an overall interpretation of Aristotle’s discussion of the ‘Third Man’ argument
