PROBLEMS OF WIDELY-DEFINED MEASUREMENT

Ludwik Finkelstein
  • Abstract:
    The presentation examines fundamental problems of widely-defined measurement that lie outside the representation concerns of measurement theory, in order to act as a starting point of a research agenda. It shows that measurement is applied in a wide range of diverse domains of domains of knowledge and enquiry for which a widesense definition of measurement is necessary. It examines philosophical objections to the application of measurement. It considers problems of measurand concept formation, It examines problems presented by widely-defined measurements requiring further study.
