The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is best known as the source of the famous quotation "Je pense, donc je suis", which occurs in Part IV of the work.
- A similar argument without this precise wording is found in Meditations on First Philosophy, and a Latin version of the same statement, "Cogito, ergo sum", is found in Principles of Philosophy.
- Discourse on the Method is one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy, and important to the development of natural sciences.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Discourse on the Method article was read about 50,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
