Ferenc Csatári thoroughly analyzes the main philosophical issues and identifies problems with each of these accounts. In addition, he observes the peculiarities of measurement in social sciences. Ultimately, he argues for a constructivist approach to measurement. As long as measurement is conceived as an assignment of numerical structures to represent properties (as traditionally done), one might feel obliged to account for continuum, errors, and truth. The author puts these key concepts under scrutiny and arrives at a non-trivial, constructive interpretation for each. On these new conceptual grounds, the active quest for congruence in phenomena will be the key to establishing meaningful measurement procedures.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 422gRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
