Swedish term or phrase: sakpåstående vs. värdepåstående
Can't find anything like that in any English phylosophical texts. How would you translate these categories of propositions?

Sakpåståenden beskriver hur något är, hävdar att något är ett faktum. Värdepåståenden bygger som lätt kan inses på värderingar.

factual judgment vs value judgment
Explanation:
These are technical terms from the field of philosophy.
It was a while I studied these things, but as far as I remember:

Modern philosophy, especially the so-called Analytical Philosophical school in Britain, with figures such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell, talks about "judgments" and generally divides them into two main classes:
- factual judgments, which express states of affairs (e.g. "The cat is on the mat."), and
- value judgments, which express "evaluations" (e.g. "The cat is cute.").

"A crucial philosophical distinction is made between a factual judgment and a value judgment. Judgments about such things as the distance between New York and San Francisco, the make of some particular automobile, or the age of a friend are factual.
Factual judgments are descriptive statements of empirical qualities or relations. Judgments about such things as whether a particular picture is beautiful, one ought to visit a sick relative, or your friend’s behavior is right are evaluative. Value judgments appraise the worth of objects, acts, feelings, and so on. There is little agreement among philosophers as to how the term
value is to be defined. In general, we can say that value judgments are judgments of appraisal."
