This work examines the basis for measurement - how to measure what we measure and the meaning of what we measure. The text suggests that empiricalness can be intersected with any other concepts to produce "meaningful and empirical relations" and "empirical laws".

This book examines the basis for measurement- how to measure what we measure and the meaning of what we measure. It is expected to appeal to those interested in measurement in the fields of psych, econ, med, edu, soc, & other applied social sciences.

This book is designed to be an introduction to the theories of measurement and meaningfulness, and not a comprehensive study of those topics. A major theme of this book is the psychophysical measurement of subjective intensity. This has been a subject of intense interest in psychology from the very beginning of experimental psychology. And from that beginning to the present day, it has continuously generated major controversies involving measurement and meaningfulness.
