“outcome”; “ultimate” (or “ultima” if you prefer Latin); “intrinsic” (to draw a contrast with “instrumental”); “telikos” (transliteration of the Greek for final, ultimate, terminal, or last); “endpoint”; “consequence”; “effect”; “impact”; “goal.”
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?
Suggestions for replacing “terminal”:
“outcome”; “ultimate” (or “ultima” if you prefer Latin); “intrinsic” (to draw a contrast with “instrumental”); “telikos” (transliteration of the Greek for final, ultimate, terminal, or last); “endpoint”; “consequence”; “effect”; “impact”; “goal.”
Do any of those sound better to you?
Edit—slight change owing to formatting.
I like “goal”, and think I like “value” even more. Value rationality?

That’s convinced me that “goal” is clearer than “value.”
