Measurement theory has only recently become recognized as a
legitimate, specialized field of inquiry. This text covers a wide
range of issues of central concern to contemporary measurement
theorists, and a broad range of philosophical perspectives are
represented. The formalist, representationalist approach defines
measurement as the assignment of numbers to entities and events to
represent their properties and relations. It also states that
measurement theory is supposed to analyze the concept of a scale of
measurement, describe various types of scales and their uses, and
formulate the conditions required for the existence of scales of
various types. Since this approach dominates contemporary
measurement theory, the volume begins with essays by some of its
leading architects. In order to allow for diverse points of view,
the book also includes articles that attempt to broaden this
approach, and several that even criticize the approach.
