Philosophy The Ship of Theseus Paradox
This ancient thought experiment questions identity over time: if you replace every plank of a ship one by one, is it still the same ship? If you then build a new ship from the original planks, which is the real Ship of Theseus? This paradox has implications for understanding personal identity, consciousness, and what makes something fundamentally 'itself.'
💡 Did you know?
This same paradox applies to the human body - almost all your cells are replaced every 7-10 years!
