Ship of Theseus. Philosophical question Thought experiment[edit] If it is supposed that the famous ship sailed by the hero Theseus in a great battle was kept in a harbour as a museum piece, and as the years went by some of the wooden parts began to rot and were replaced by new ones; then, after a century or so, every part had been replaced.
The question then is if the "restored" ship is still the same object as the original. If it is then supposed that each of the removed pieces were stored in a warehouse, and after the century, technology developed to cure their rotting and enabled them to be put back together to make a ship, then the question is if this "reconstructed" ship is still the original ship. And if so, then the question also regards the restored ship in the harbour still being the original ship as well.[1] No identity over time[edit] Four-dimensionalism[edit] Cognitive science[edit] History[edit] Applications[edit] The paradox appears in several more applied fields of philosophy.

It features tracing exercises, quizzes, sound and even relaxing music so you can imagine meditatively practicing calligraphy in the comfort of your own sukiya-zukuri.
