What Would You Do?


  What would you do if you were far from home with a group of people you didn't know? How would you react if you suddenly regained your ability to walk? What would you do if your son was abducted? Will you be the person you believe yourself to be?

  LOST is certainly a thought provoking television show and now it seems to have inspired a soon to be published book on philosophy called LOST and Philosophy. Apparently, this is a scholarly text as it is set to be published by Wiley-Blackwell. Fortunately for LOST fans, they have sent us several chapters free of charge! Let's take a look at a chapter called What would you do? Altered states in Lost

What would you do? Altered states in Lost

  Imagine you were on that plane and made it to the island. Life has suddenly become outrageously altered; your health has changed. Perhaps you are now completely healed of some past injury or you now have some new bodily weakness. Rather than interacting with people you are familiar with, you're surrounded by a whole new group of people with different, sometimes shifting, bizarre stories about their past. Are the people you encounter really who they claim to be? Will you be the person you claim to be in that altered state? An even more troubling question: will you be the person you believe yourself to be? Reflection on how you would act if you were in the world of Lost can shed light on your character. Would you let the numbers run down to zero? If someone kidnapped your son, would you break down, as Michael did? How you would handle such different, altered situations is important information about who you are now.
