Last updated on: March 24, 2020 at 7:44 pm By Father Pablo Migone

The ancient philosopher Heraclitus was correct when he stated about 2,500 years ago that “the only constant in life is change.” When considering the nature of change, philosophers like Heraclitus have plunged into the paradox of the “Ship of Theseus.” The Greek war hero Theseus returned on his ship to Athens, and over time the various parts of the ship were replaced.
