I'm not sure what you mean by "terminal values", however.

"Terminal Values and Instrumental Values". You might also want to check out the metaethics sequence, if you haven't already.

"Terminal Values" are goals, then, and "Instrumental Values" are the methods used in an attempt to reach those goals. Does that sound right? So now I need to go reply to Jack again...
