Thanks for bringing up Haidt; I've taken a close look at some of this writing (e.g. this) and concluded that he is full of it... or at least not being rational.
The Five Pillars of Morality theory in particular falls apart if you scratch the surface too hard.
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...
