BOOK INFO: See photos for Table of Contents. Co-authors R. Duncan Luce, Patrick Suppes, Amos Tversky. B&W frontispiece by Ruth Weisberg. 'Scattered about the literatures of economics, mathematics, philosophy, physics, psychology, and statistics are axiom systems and theorems that are intended to explain why some attributes of objects, substances, and events can reasonably be represented numerically. These results constitute the mathematical foundations of measurement. Although such systems are of some mathematical interest, they warrant our attention primariy as empirical theories--as attempts to formulate properties that are observed to be true about certain qualitative attributes. Some of the theories appropriate to classical physics are so well accepted that they are usually considered in the province of philosophy rather than physics, but this should not be allowed to becloud the basic empirical character of any theory that purports, for example, to justify treating mass as an additive numerical property. From time to time, the empirical nature of basic measurement assumptions is forcibly brought to everyone's attention --for example, when the theory of relativity made clear that velocities do not combine additively; when quantum mechanics made clear that the probability theory of elementary particles is somewhat different from that appropriate to macroscopic events; and when we recall that the attribute of hardness still lacks any satisfactory measurement analysis. In the nonphysical sciences, measurement has always been problematic, and it has become increasingly evident to nearly everyone concerned that we must devise theories somewhat different from those that have worked in physics. Because of the active--and we believe crucial--concern with measurement in these sciences, it is not terribly surprising that four behavioral scientists might attempt to summarize the field. The methodology of measurement has, of course, a long history in the physical sciences, and we have also tried to cover the major foundational problems there, ranging from the theory of extensive measurement to dimensional analysis. We must emphasize that this book deals with foundations and not with the history or current practice of measurement in any field. To the extent that we deal with empirical examples, it is to motivate theories and to illustrate their testing.' (-from the Preface).
