Abstract

An already long lasting debate between Fair Value and Historical Cost tenants points to fundamental differences between accountants. This article aims at deepening the understanding of evaluation in the field, in its very formulation, supposing an original error. In a metaphysic's inspired approach, we mobilized Henri Bergson's re commendations to help us untangling travelled conceptual paths and to look for"problematization issues" or "falsely stated problems" in their Bergsonian sense. Our findings are twofold: we are evidencing what we think is a huge quid pro quo, and suggesting a way to escape from it by reformulating the question of the measurement
