This dissertation explores how “quantity” was reconceptualized in the context of 19th century experimental sciences. In canonical works of philosophy by Aristotle, Descartes or Kant, “quantity” serves as the link between mathematics and its application in the empirical domain. The conception that “quantities” are composed out of equal, additive units is based on the archetypical geometrical magnitudes and its part-whole structure. Despite the fact that measurement techniques in most experimental sciences involve much more complex conceptual and practical operations than counting units, the old conception of “quantity” continued to play a crucial role in philosophers and scientists’ attempt to explain how mathematics is applied well into the...
