Logic Texts on Measurements - Dictionary of Arguments
Read III 135 ff Standard meter: at least one meter at a time was defined by reference to this Standard meter. Therefore, we could know a priori that the standard meter was one meter long. Nonetheless, it could be longer or shorter. "The Standard meter is one meter long" is only contingently true, but a priori knowable. >a priori, >a posteriori, >Contingency, >Standard meter. III 207 ff Measuring instruments: can they tell us what color the stains are? That one is a red, the other is green? They cannot. And this is because words like "red" are observation predicates. The reason of our judgments about the accuracy of the applications of "red" is based on observation. >Observation, >Colour, >Colour words._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
