Abstract

Measurement science Measurement theory Uncertainty in measurement
Given the common assumption that measurement plays an important role in the foundation of science, the paper analyzes the possibility that measurement science, and therefore measurement itself, can be properly founded. The conclusion, that such a position unavoidably leads to paradoxical situations, opens the discussion for a new epistemology of measurement, whose characteristics and interpretation are still to be investigated.
