I guess I missed out on a lot when I never got around to taking those philosophy courses I wanted to take.
I've always been aware of the connection between LOST's Danielle Rousseau and the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Her living alone in the wilderness seemed an obvious tip of the hat toward his writings.
But as I was getting breakfast this morning I took a second look at my Jane Austen coffee cup. I thought, "Wait, is there any connection between Kate Austen and Jane Austen as well?" Having only read Pride and Prejudice I didn't really have a large grasp on her works so I consulted the great and powerful Wiki. Turns out you really could compare Kate with the subject matter of Jane Austen's writings, but I still wasn't sure.
I wanted to find out more. I was curious if anyone else had come to the same conclusion, but I couldn't find anything hinting toward the connection.
However upon googling the connection between the Rousseaus I found this page: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Philosophy
I feel so left out not catching these as they appeared like I did with Rousseau. I love that sort of hidden meaning stuff. It makes you feel like you're in on some inside joke that most people won't catch. I also love things dealing with philosophy, anything to make you question the world around you. Oh LOST, how I adore you.
I almost feel inspired to go back to school after reading that, but considering how I still have no idea what I want to do I probably never will...well, that and I can't seem to finish my math courses. blahrg!
