Systems of units still fail to attract the philosophical attention
they deserve, but this could change with the current reform of the
International System of Units (SI). Most of the SI base units will
henceforth be based on certain laws of nature and a choice of
fundamental constants whose values will be frozen. The theoretical,
experimental and institutional work required to implement the
reform highlights the entanglement of scientific, technological and
social features in scientific enterprise, while it also invites a
philosophical inquiry that promises to overcome the tensions that
have long obstructed science studies.
