We present a normal form Prisoner?s Dilemma with a moral component. We assume that agents evaluate the game?s outcomes with respect to their ideality degree (i.e. how much a given outcome conforms to the player?s moral values), based on two proposed notions on ethical preferences: Harsanyi?s and Rawls?. Based on such game, we construct and agent-based model of moral guilt, where the intensity of an agent?s guilt feeling plays a determinant role in her course of action. Results for both constructions of ideality are analyzed.} }
