Ship of Theseus

Book • 1949
Ship of Theseus is a thought experiment that raises questions about identity and change.

The paradox explores whether an object that has had all its components replaced remains the same object.

It is named after the ship of the mythical hero Theseus.

Different versions of the paradox exist, some focusing on gradual replacement and others on simultaneous replacement with a replica.

The paradox has been discussed by philosophers for centuries.

It is often used to illustrate the challenges of defining identity in a world of constant change.
