The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Said tradition sought to formulate a scientific philosophy in which philosophical discourse proves as authoritative and meaningful as empirical science.
- A central thesis endorsed by some logical positivists and rejected by others was the verification principle, also known as the "verifiability criterion of meaning", according to which a statement is cognitively meaningful only if it can be verified through empirical observation or if it is a tautology.
- The verifiability criterion thus rejected statements of metaphysics, theology, ethics and aesthetics as cognitively meaningless in terms of truth value or factual content.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Logical positivism article was read about 100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
