Incomparability and the Logical Structure of Value Magnitudes

Abstract

Bykvist (and some others) have recently argued  that positing value magnitudes (analogues of physical magnitudes such as  lengths, masses, temperatures and so on) throws considrable light on some problems in axiology.

Here I foucs on  problems concerning value incomparability and value incommensurability. Of how much value are value magnitudes in this cluster?
