... and demarcate a quantity by telling us simply how to measure it—focused on instruments with defined units—e.g., “time is what a clock measures.” One forgoes the need to delve into its meaning ( Bunge, 1973 , p. 10: “…far from assigning meanings, measurements presuppose them”). One can fairly claim...
