The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- By the eighteenth century, Scotland had a network of parish schools in the Scottish Lowlands and five universities.
- The Enlightenment culture was based on close readings of new books, and intense discussions which took place daily at such intellectual gathering places in Edinburgh as The Select Society and, later, The Poker Club, as well as within Scotland's ancient universities.
- Sharing the humanist and rational outlook of the Western Enlightenment of the same time period, the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment asserted the importance of human reason combined with a rejection of any authority that could not be justified by reason.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Scottish Enlightenment article was read about 64,000 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 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
