22Self-Predication and Productive MetonymyApeiron 51 (1): 1-36. 2018.What does Plato mean in saying that, for all forms, âF-ness is Fâ? In such claims, I argue, âFâ is being used metonymically to refer to the property of being productive of F-ness rather than to the property of being F, in a way consistent with univocity and the rejection of a genuine Self-Predication Assumption. I explain and defend this productive metonymy reading and show how it can resolve the troubling argument at Phaedo 74b7-c6.
