I explain Van Inwagen's 'SCQ' and examine some potential resolutions, including mereological nihilism, mereological universalism, organicism and more.

What is Theseus' Paradox? I examine some potential solutions, and consider what our answers tell us about the metaphysics of identity and of identity change.
