Measurement realism, the view that measurement targets quantitative attributes and that not all attributes are quantitative, has come under attack both from metrologists and philosophers. In this paper, I take a close look at two influential argument

Both comparativists and sophisticated substantivalists accept that there are many equivalent numerical representations of quantities, or conversely, that no numerical representation is distinguished. But whereas comparativists seem committed to offer

The Metaphysics of Quantities
This chapter addresses two challenges for using the representational theory of measurement (RTM) as a basis for a metaphysics of quantities. The first is the dominant interpretation of representationalism as being committed to operationalism and empi

The Metaphysics of Quantities
This chapter shows how the view arrived at in the previous chapters amounts to a structuralist understanding of quantities. It argues that the view is structuralist both in the ontology it provides for quantities and in the criterion for quantitative

This chapter introduces the representational theory of measurement as the relevant formal framework for a metaphysics of quantities. After presenting key elements of the representational approach, axioms for different measurement structures are prese

Are relational or monadic facts about quantities more fundamental? This question is one way of formulating the debate between comparativists and absolutists in the metaphysics of quantities. The dispute between the two positions seems to depend on re

While the determinable/determinates model of quantities treats quantities as (special cases of) variable attributes, the approaches considered in this chapter focus on quantities as numerical attributes: being numerically representable is what makes

Should we ask whether an attribute is quantitative, or is it enough to show that its concept is measurable? This question is at the heart of the dispute between (restrictive) measurement realists and (typically permissive) operationalists.This chapte

This chapter sets out what a metaphysics of quantities is and what the key disputes in the metaphysics of quantities are. A metaphysics of quantities concerns quantitativeness, the feature that differentiates quantities from other attributes. Three d
