Abstract
The design of a moral decision apparatus is always associated with the appropriate definition of the set of qualities and virtues of an agent which emerge from their feelings and desires. But, there are much more elements along the process of moral judgement and there is no single linear sequence of effects. Therefore, a moral mind is a n-layer organization where the decision apparatus plays a central role in fixing the policy of choice. The idea of the agent organization will be illustrated in a devious negotiation scenario.
