Of course not; that is quite a different usage of the word 'value'; I am using 'value" as shorthand for ' value judgement'; ie. a statement about how someting should or shouldn't be I would suggest expanding your concept of value as follows;
a) Claims of objective values, which verified and falsified by external correspondence, *the* world, what is true.
b) Claims of intersubjective values, which verified and falsified by mutual consensus, *our* world, what is good.
b) Claims of subjective values, which verified and falsified by sincere expressions, *my* world, what is beautiful.
I'm going to read "objective value" as a value judgement about an objective phenomena. That is a statement about how some objective phenomena, should or should not be; now for me such a statement is ontologically distinct from a factual statement; about the same objective phenomena. So there can be no possibility of expanding " a value judgement about something"; to include factual statements. The same would be true of subjective phenomena. Regarding "intersubjective" ; well I don't know would be intended by this word ; in the context of subjective and objective; perhaps you can provide an example. "Subjective" aka phenomenological referes to things which are intrinsically; percievable only to one person. Objective aka material refers to things which are intrinsically percievable ; by many people. eg My headache is subjective; it's neural correlate is objective; well it will be ! I'm not entirely convinced especially giiven the misunderstanding , concerning the other usage of value; that this is not some kind of semantic issue ? regards Rohan
