An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, an Uncommon card

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was a revision of an earlier effort, Hume's A Treatise of Human Nature, published anonymously in London in 1739–40.
- Hume was disappointed with the reception of the Treatise, which "fell dead-born from the press," as he put it, and so tried again to disseminate his more developed ideas to the public by writing a shorter and more polemical work.
- The end product of his labours was the Enquiry.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
