> Measurement is a central activity in the acquisition of scientific
> knowledge. With increasing attention to scientific practice, there is
> renewed interest determining what contributes to the reliability of
> measurement, its accuracy, and precision. The epistemology and metaphysics
> of measurement raise fundamental questions about the relationship between
> scientific theories and models, human actions, and the natural world. These
> include:
> 1. The representational and informational character of measurements (What
> do they measure?)
> 2. The evaluation of measurement outcomes (How should we assess the
> validity or reliability of a measurement process?)
> 3. The objectivity of measurements (How is the measurement process guided
> by theory? How is it independent? What are the implications for the status
> of measurement as evidence?)
> This workshop will explore how a philosophically pragmatist epistemology
> and metaphysics addresses these questions, and how pragmatist frameworks
> might transform our understanding of the character and constituents of
> successful scientific measurement.
