Page "Ship of Theseus" Paragraph 34

Through these sequential analysis, one eliminates the impossible modes of existence for the ship.

This points at the idea that " ship identity " is something which is merely designated conceptually onto our experience, but that there is no findable inherent, objective, or intrinsic existence on the side of the object.

In Buddhism, this lack of inherent identity is called emptiness and its opposite is called ignorance.

These two concepts are deeply related to the pursuit of happiness in Buddhism and are not merely philosophical games, as in the case of the Greek philosophers.
