1. What is it?
The ship of Theseus is a philosophical puzzle that asks the question of whether if the Ship of Theseus is still the same after some changes on wood or its components. The question asks if the Ship of Theseus changed its materials for example the wood that it was made by or the oars, is it still the Ship of Theseus.
2. What do you think the answer is?
Scenario 1.
This is when the Ship of Theseus replaces its part piece by piece over time, is it still the Ship of Theseus?
Scenario 2.
This is when the parts of the Ship of Theseus are made into a new ship, is it still the Ship of Theseus
Scenario 3.
This is when a part of the Ship of Theseus gets removed or lose, is it still the Ship of Theseus?
With these three different scenarios, I believe yes it is still the same ship. In the first scenario even if the ship replaces its part it still the same ship. Think about it, your body changes its cells everyday are you still the same person?
