Values and Morals, Goldman & Kim eds 1978
Author discusses the two parts of action: belief and desire. Discusses moral training as coming to associate positive ends with positive means-- that is, 'transmutation of means into ends'.
Author cannot pinpoint actual 'moral values' but instead discusses two more easily identified ones: Altruistic values and Ceremonial values. Altruistic means being satisfied when someone else is, and Ceremonial means attaching value to the practices of one's social/societal group.
Author considers 'moral sentiment' to be based from sympathy for one's fellow man.
[Interesting paper: worth re-reading and this is a sub-standard summary]
