After the Last Plank: Identity, Continuity, and the Ship of Theseus

By: Scott, Ryan P.

A ship leaves harbor.
Over time, every plank is replaced.

At some point, nothing of the original vessel remains.
The service record continues anyway.

After the Last Plank uses the Ship of Theseus thought experiment to examine personal identity once continuity stops being obvious and starts being procedural.

This is not a book about finding your true self.
It is a book about what survives change.

There is no final answer to the paradox.
There is only the question it keeps asking.

What still counts as "you"?
And for whom?

This book does not offer advice, comfort, or resolution.
It describes what happens when the idea of a stable self wears out, but life continues to hold you accountable anyway.
