In the 1690s, he puts forth an argument for his own expression that is allegedly based on the science of quantity in general (or the art of estimation). Leibniz states that the latter requires the quantity of force to be determined by the real repetitions of a measure. It would follow that his expression for force is the correct one. Now, commentators have not been sensitive to the ingenuity of the argument presented here. In this paper, focussing on the exchange between Johann Bernoulli and Leibniz, we want to show how this argument consists essentially in pushing for a certain conception of the mathematization of force based, in turn, on a serious conception of measurement of quantities. This conception exploits the conservative properties of physical systems in order to apply general principles of determination of quantity to the special case of the quantity of force. We conclude by confronting our interpretation with others which posit a stronger connection between measurement and metaphysics in Leibniz.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"110 ","pages":"Pages 65-75"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143674812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We establish a strong connection between the two fields by highlighting parallels between the views they reject: the ‘deficit model’ in science communication and the ‘information processing paradigm’ in cognitive science. Furthermore, we show that the positive visions of PEWS and RECS are similarly aligned: The concept of participatory sense-making from enactive cognitive science provides an account of why active, dialogical engagement in science communication is so effective. Conversely, processes in which affected communities actively engage developments in science and technology through contribution and contestation provide an invaluable case study for RECS accounts of emergent dynamics in techno-cultural systems. After establishing the connection between PEWS and RECS, we motivate the need for what we call ‘participatory cognitive strategies’. Finally, a brief case study shows the potential for these strategies in actively involving different groups of stakeholders throughout the development of large-scale AI systems, allowing us to make a conceptual contribution to ongoing debates about the meaning of ‘democratizing AI’ in this project and in the larger AI initiative of which it is a part.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"110 ","pages":"Pages 55-64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143654508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mistakenly understood as merely summarising von Neumann’s account, both sides in the debate failed to appreciate its phenomenological underpinnings. London not only originally studied phenomenology but continued thinking about and discussing this approach in the years leading up to the publication of his work with Bauer, most notably with Gurwitsch, who likewise had a dual background in phenomenological philosophy and physics. In the book, <em>A Phenomenological Approach to Quantum Mechanics: Cutting the Chain of Correlations</em> (French, 2023), the historical background to London and Bauer’s work is set out prior to situating it within the context of Husserl’s philosophy as a whole. It is concluded that the London and Bauer phenomenological account offers a potentially fruitful way forward through various dichotomies, such as that between psi-ontic and psi-epistemic accounts and between interpretational and reconstructive approaches more generally, as well as with regard to understanding quantum physics more generally.</div><div>In this paper London and Bauer’s insistence that quantum mechanics should be seen as a theory of knowledge in its own right is emphasized, where this must be taken as phenomenologically grounded.

In this discussion, we focus on measurement robustness, where convergent results are obtained over different measurement methods, indicating reliable detection. Our aim is to identify a methodological problem with convergent results applicable to measurement practice in inequitable social contexts. We argue that even under ideal function of measurement robustness, there is still a deeper methodological problem about measurement choices and strategies: the ‘sacrifice of representational adequacy for generality’ (SRAG). We detail SRAG and then apply it using two case studies, where convergent measurements conceal pollution masking and pollution burden. Finally, we offer a solution to SRAG through the analysis of robust community-based data practices. By describing the community-led efforts behind Shingle Mountain and the Joppa Environmental Health Project, we illustrate how an effective cross-checking structure can correct measurement goals and strategies, thereby, promoting representational adequacy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49467,"journal":{"name":"Studies in History and Philosophy of Science","volume":"110 ","pages":"Pages 19-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143549887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
