The fact-value distinction is a philosophical concept that differentiates between empirical statements about the world (facts) and normative statements that express values, preferences, or judgments (values). This distinction is often associated with the work of philosophers such as David Hume, who famously pointed out that one cannot derive prescriptive norms (what ought to be) solely from descriptive facts (what is).
