Theseus' Ship: A Possible Response from an Indian Realist.
This article will critically examine the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika theory of substance (dravya). The Buddhists are reductionists, who believe that there is no substance over and above its attributes (guṇa) or parts (avayava).

The Buddhists are reductionists, who believe that there is no substance over and above its attributes (guṇa) or parts (avayava). Thus, a pot is a set of a certain shape, size, color, texture, etc. But the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika philosopher thinks that a pot is a substance that houses all of its attributes and actions (karman). It holds all these together. Also, it binds its parts. Although the Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika school defines a substance, it does not seem to offer any theory of the diachronic identity of a substance; it does not discuss a Theseus'-ship-like case. In this article we shall offer a theory of diachronic identity of a substance based on a Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika definition of substance. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Journal of Indian Philosophy is a copyright of Springer, 2024.
