Operationalism required scientists to define things with respect to how their physical qualities are measured.
Operationalism did nothing to resolve this dilemma, but as it turned out, the discussions of quantum mechanics were indebted to operationalism for their vocabulary.
Bridgman is known also for his studies of electrical conduction in metals and properties of crystals and for his writings on the philosophy of modern science where he advanced the idea of operationalism.
