Here's one small theory on John Locke's latest actions of 'joining' The Others.
The founder of DHARMA, Gerald DeGroot, is based on Dutch natural right theorist and philosopher Hugo de Groot (Hugo Grotius). As you can read below, philosopher John Locke shared his ideas on the law of nature, such as John Locke the Lostie shares the values of The Others (or the island).
One of the pioneering natural rights theorists of the late 16th and early 17th centuries, De Groot defined natural law as a perceptive judgement in which things are good or bad by their own nature. This was a break from Calvinist ideals, in that God was no longer the only source of ethical qualities. These things that are by themselves good are associated with the nature of man. The Dutch Republic had been founded on princples of religious toleration but had become a Calvinist theocracy. De Groot, a humanist and Dutch patriot, struggled with Calvinism all of his life.In this struggle, he dealt with the international laws of war and issues of peace and justice. Although most famous for his theories of natural law, De Groot was also considered to be a great theologian. While occasionally writing about Christianity and religion, his intention for law was to write of it as independant of religious opinions.
De Groot intended moral laws to apply to both the individual and the state equally. Although De Groot was somewhat conservative in his views, his ideas on war, conquest, and the law of nature continued to be revered and expanded by more liberal philosophers like John Locke in his Two Treatises on Civil Government (1689). Locke agrees with De Groot in using the analytical device of a state of nature that exists before civil government and in the general claim that might does not make right as well as the claim that just wars aim to preserve rights.
And now it get's a little scary (thanks to wikipedia for the text)...
KLM Flight 607-E, also known as Hugo de Groot, registration PH-LKM, was a Lockheed Super Constellation which crashed 180 kilometres west of Shannon, Ireland on August 14, 1958. All 99 on board died in the accident, including six members of the Egyptian fencing team.
Flight 607-E departed Shannon, Ireland at 3:05 GMT on the second leg of a transatlantic trip from Amsterdam to New York City with intermediate stops in Shannon and Gander, Newfoundland. Radio contact with the aircraft was lost at approximately 0340 hrs GMT; a rescue operation was launched which found light debris on the surface of the ocean approximately 180 km west of Shannon. The remains of 34 of those on board were also recovered. Due to the unknown depth of the crash location, no salvage effort was attempted.
