Thoughts on Ghost in the shell 1995
So when someone watch the 1995 movie, one the first things that comes to mind is the Ship of Theseus (my brutal answer is that the ship at the start of the journey and the ship at the end of it are two different entities, two different ships). And I see that a lot of people apply this paradox to the biomechanical body of Major Kusanagi. But when I first watched the movie, I thought about her consciousness, ghost or whatever you want to call it. So I ask to all of you, do you think the paradox is valid also for the human soul, ghost, consciousness or whatever you want to call it.
And by valid I don't mean the change of tastes, inclinations and behavior of a person through its lifetime. I mean a deep and radical change of its own personal and inner way of thinking, of looking at things, of approaching reality and so on. If an individual went through this process (gradual and slow process that occurs in decades of life), it would be the same person, or it would be a new person? Sorry if there are errors, English is not my first language.
