Measurement

Karel Berka's treatise on measurement delves into the intricate relationship between qualitative and quantitative concepts in the sciences. Drawing from his extensive background in logic, mathematics, and both physical and social sciences, Berka critiques and analyzes the works of notable figures like Helmholtz and Bridgman. He tackles enduring challenges in the field, such as transitioning from classification to metrics and the quest to quantify qualitative ideas, all while addressing the philosophical implications of measurement.
