Citation[edit]

Can someone provide a citation for this? Is it actually in any of Locke's texts? If not, what citation verifies attributing this to Locke?--Anthony Krupp 17:56, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger[edit]

The article on the Ship of Theseus already lists several examples of this type of identity problem, and I cannot understand how this differs so significantly that it warrants its own page. Furthermore, it includes the same ambiguous quotation of Heraclitus (in addition to the uncited allusion to Locke) that I discussed and edited on the Ship of Theseus page. A merger would allow for the removal of this passage from the Locke section, thereby correcting this issue. --jaggerblade; 18:00, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

--Seconded, if it matters. The essence of this paradox is identical to that of the ship of theseus (and the Grandfather's Axe, for that matter. Fascinating as this paradox is, it surely only warrants one page)
