Abstract

The previous chapter showed that, in its totality, the concept of quality is enormously rich. It carries a number of meanings, some of which are in tension with each other.

The only place where all meanings of quality meet is in the dictionary. In practice, people do not look up all these meanings; they usually talk about something less.
