Abstract

Traditionally understood as a quantitative empirical process, in the last decades measurement has been reconsidered in its aims, scope, and structure, so that the basic questions are again important: what kind of knowledge do we obtain from a measurement? what is the source of the acknowledged special efficacy of measurement? A preliminary analysis is proposed here from an evolutionary perspective.
