The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Other ways of knowing, such as intuition, introspection, or religious faith, are rejected or considered meaningless.
- Although the positivist approach has been a recurrent theme in the history of Western thought, modern positivism was first articulated in the early 19th century by Auguste Comte.
- His school of sociological positivism holds that society, like the physical world, operates according to scientific laws.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Positivism article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
