Theseus' Ship

in #history6 years ago

A famous ship in history. Theseus was a Greek hero who did many noble things. When he retired, the grateful Greeks decided to protect his ship as a monument to his heroism.

Of course, the ship is made of wood, iron and rope. Everything rotting or rotting over time. The Greeks changed them piece by piece as the wood boards decayed. In the end, each part of the ship was replaced.

In the end there would be two ships; one of them is a brand new piece and the other is made from the original pieces of the Ship of Theseus. Can you still claim that the ship consisting of new parts is the Ship of Theseus?

When were more than 50% of the parts replaced? Of course, there is a moment when the Ship of Theseus ceases to be. What about your body? You don't include almost any of the cells and atoms you had when you were born. Are you still the same person? Most people agree that you never let go of what is yours, even though they are bigger and more advanced.
