The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Beginning with A Treatise of Human Nature, Hume strove to create a naturalistic science of man that examined the psychological basis of human nature.
- Following John Locke, Hume rejected the existence of innate ideas, holding that all our ideas derive ultimately from impressions, but in his fork he distinguished relations of ideas, known a priori, from matters of fact, whose knowledge rests on experience.
- This places him in the empiricist tradition of Locke and George Berkeley, while drawing his experimental method from Francis Bacon.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The David Hume article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 94 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
