Hey, thanks for reading it! It is intended. Because for many authors it is not tautological, I thought important to emphasize when I was speaking specifically of quantitative (interval or ratio) measurement.

Cristian Larroulet Philippi, Values and Measurement - PhilPapers At first sight, measurement might appear to be a natural candidate for a scientific practice that is value-free. This chapter reviews prominent arguments supporting the opposite view, i.e., that value...

I’ve just uploaded to philpapers my (preprint) chapter titled “Values and Measurement” forthcoming in the Routledge Handbook of Values in Science.

A privilege to co-author with the brilliant @alessandrabasso.bsky.social whose mastery of economics of inequality and its philosophy is unparalleled. Our general point: indicators always have more than one ideal to serve, so will have to prioritise and hence sacrifice #philsci #econsky #measurement
