Philosophical Question: Ship of Theseus

If, through continual repair and maintenance, you eventually replace all the parts of a ship, is it the same ship your started with or a completely different ship?

I am the observer of reality, not the vessel that contains it.

What if you were never sailing on a ship, but on a name?
It’s the idea of a thing that’s important, not the parts.

This cuts to the metaphysics of sports: if you cut all the members of your team, and replace them with all new members, is it the same team?

In terms of physical parts, no, not the same ship. In terms of symbolic meaning, then yes, same ship.
As Hemp pointed out, we are symbol using animals who see beyond the basic physical properties of existence.

No, I've just taken too many psychedelics in my life.

This can apply to countries as well.
It all depends on how much of a materialist you are.

Depends on the answer if you're Herman Dooyeweerd, Heidegger, or Schopenhauer.

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

So last month at the casino, when I saw The Four Tops it wasn’t The Four Tops?

It was the Four Tops for you, pops.

I am the captain of my soul.
