Great Lost Thinkers

[littlebitca]

Lost musings -- speculative, not spoilery:

How many of the last names of the characters are historically recognizable, and is there any significance to it?

Desmond [David] Hume
Daniel [Michael] Faraday
Kate [Jane] Austen
Charlotte [Clive] Staples Lewis
Juliet [Edmund] Burke
John [John] Locke
George [Hermann] Minkowski

and possibly more that I just don't recognise.


Hmmmm. Somehow I think this is not random chance.

I never even noticed that until last night, when everyone started using 'Faraday' and I thought "hey, I recognize that name from somewheres..."

It was Charlotte Staples Lewis that did it for me.


(P.S. Am heading to Ohio today, so won't be online until later in the evening).
