Measurement Across the Sciences

I love this book because it poses questions that go beyond the traditional concept of measurement as a mere technical activity performed with instruments. Measurements are a way to gain knowledge. I like the approach of this book about measuring (that is, knowing) non-physical quantities such as competence, quality, etc., and assessing how reliable the obtained result is.

When reading this book, we truly understand how cross-disciplinary metrology is and how many philosophical questions it poses, probably more difficult to answer than mere technological ones.

As a metrologist, I found these questions quite intriguing, and I’m confident that philosophy-passionate people… show more.
