I. Founding figures -- part II. Images as measurements -- part III. Measuring the immeasurable -- part IV. Calibrating mind and world. 330 $aThis collection offers a new understanding of the epistemology of measurement. The interdisciplinary volume explores how measurements are produced, for example, in astronomy and seismology, in studies of human sexuality and ecology, in brain imaging and intelligence testing. It considers photography as a measurement technology and Henry David Thoreau's poetic measures as closing the gap between mind and world. By focusing on measurements as the hard-won results of conceptual as well as technical operations, the authors of the book no longer presuppose that measurement is always and exclusively a means of representing some feature of a target object or entity. Measurement also provides knowledge about the degree to which things have been standardized or harmonized - it is an indicator of how closely human practices are attuned to each other and the world. 410 0$aHistory and philosophy of technoscience ;$v9. 606 $aMeasurement$xHistory 606 $aMetrology$xHistory 615 0$aMeasurement$xHistory. 615 0$aMetrology$xHistory. 676 $a530.801 701 $aMA?ssner$b Nicola$01866472 701 $aNordmann$b Alfred$f1956-$061632 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957060303321 996 $aReasoning in measurement$94473880 997 $aUNINA
