I like "goal", and think I like "value" even more. Value rationality?
I'm not sure about "value" in this context. The term "value" could attach to either acts or outcomes, I think. So, if the goal is to distinguish rationality that cares about acts first from rationality that cares about outcomes first, then "value" doesn't seem to do a very good job. Does that sound right to you, or am I missing something about the distinction that you want to draw?
That's convinced me that "goal" is clearer than "value."
