Title: Patrick Mc Givern (UoW)
Making Sense of Phenomenal Scale
Many concepts of scale are employed in science. Scale can be associated
with theories and models, with measurements, observations, and data, and
with objects and phenomena themselves. In this paper, I examine these
latter concepts of scale, where scale is associated directly with phenomena
rather than being understood in terms of the way phenomena are observed,
described or investigated. While there are various ways of clarifying what
it means to observe a phenomenon on a particular temporal or spatial scale,
it is less clear what it means for a phenomenon to occur on one scale
rather than another. Drawing on discussions of scale in ecology, I
distinguish between a variety of attitudes toward scale in this
‘phenomenal’ sense, ranging from eliminitivism (which holds that scale
should only be associated with observation, description and the like, and
not with phenomena themselves) to realism (which holds that phenomenal
scale should be understood independently of observation). I then assess the
prospects for realist views of phenomenal scale.
