If you replace every single part of a ship over time, is it still the same ship? This is the heart of Theseus’s Paradox, a centuries-old puzzle that has fascinated philosophers and thinkers alike. But this isn’t just about ships—it’s about identity. What makes something (or someone) fundamentally the same over time? From ancient Greek philosophy to modern debates about personal identity, we’ll explore how this paradox applies to everything from objects to ourselves. Get ready to question what it really means to stay the same.
