What does the Third Man Argument actually show?

What part of the forms is he critiquing?

It was initially made by Plato as a way of criticizing his works on the Theory of Forms, but it was Aristotle who actually developed the 'man' example. It's designed to highlight the the problem of infinite regress in Plato's work on Forms.

For example, if you have a man who is described as a man because he has the Form of a man, then a third form/man would be needed in order to explain how the man and the Form of the man are both classed as man. This leads to an infinite regress, as to explain how the third man and the form of the third man are classed as man, you would need a fourth man and so on.

An easier way of understanding this is in imagining the Form of Man which is utterly perfect, a third man would be needed to explain the Form/its perfection etc.
