Ship of Theseus
What is it? Explain it in your own words.
The ship of Theseus goes about a vessel left at the shore in the Athens harbor as a memorial to Theseus himself. It remained there for many years, and as it was there, the Athenians took away the decaying wood from the ship and replacing it with new and more durable timber. Because of this, it raised attention to philosophers who took that and evaluated it into a logical question for identity. The ship stayed the same yet, rebuilt so does it continue to be the original.
What do you think the answer/solution is? Is there one?
There is no yes or no answer. There can be so many answers/solutions to this question.
Does this relate to our human identity? How so?
We are aware parts of us have changed within years, but we still believe we are the same.
