The latter is an expression of the former. To say an object is worth $10 is not a claim of the object's intrinsic value - it is to say that it is worth $10 to someone. That person assesses the worth of the object based on their principles and values (whether held explicitly or implicitly). Edit: Elsewhere in this thread I've linked to additional resources to expand on the philosophy behind the article. I think they are worth the small investment of time to get a view on a radically different approach to life.
