fact-value distinction

This is the notion that we should not confuse claims about how things are (facts) with claims about how things should be (values). The empiricist David Hume (1711–1776) is well known for his arguments that one cannot derive statements of value (the ‘ought”) from statements of fact (the ‘is”).
