      This paper deals with the conceptual relations between classificatory value concepts (such as `good' and `bad') on the one hand and comparative relations (`is better than') on the other. In particular, the author discusses a series of conditions for potential definitions of the classificatory concepts in terms of the (apparently ``more fundamental'') preference relations.
