commensurable
의미: Able to be measured or compared by the same standard; proportionate in size, degree, or extent to something else.
Commensurable is a formal, somewhat technical adjective used in philosophy, mathematics, and policy analysis. Two things are commensurable if they can be meaningfully compared using a shared metric. In philosophy, the question of whether different moral values are commensurable is central to ethical theory. It is often confused with 'commensurate' (proportionate, corresponding in size), but commensurable specifically addresses the possibility of comparison, not the match in scale. The negative form 'incommensurable' is equally important in academic discourse.
