社会事实是人类的经验可以把握的一类基本事实。社会事实与自然事实的基本区别在于它的价值蕴含。因此,价值包容于社会事实之中,并且不同的价值决定了社会事实的不同特性。具体来说,依据与社会事实的不同关系,价值可以区分为这样三种类型:价值Ⅰ蕴含于精神性社会事物之中;价值Ⅱ是相应精神性社会事实的行为价值(应当);价值Ⅲ是存在于具有物质载体的社会事实中的价值。 Social facts are a type of basic fact that human experience can grasp. The basic difference between social fact and natural fact lies in its value implication. Therefore, values ​​are embedded in social facts, and different values ​​determine the different characteristics of social facts. Specifically, based on different relations with social facts, the value can be divided into three types: the value I is contained in spiritual social things; the value II is the behavioral value (should) of the corresponding spiritual social fact; the value III is The value of social facts that exist in material carriers.
