The correct answer to this is You did all the good things with injured because he was your cousin.
Key Points

  • Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher and one of the central Enlightenment thinkers. In this situation Kant's philosophy is applicable
  • In Kantian philosophy of Categorical Imperative, any action is just and moral only when it is universal.
  • But in this case the action by doer is relative, since the victim was doer's cousin. In other cases, doer might not have taken the same action.

Thus, the correct answer is according to Kantian moral theory, your action cannot be called a "moral action 'because you did all good things with injured because he was your cousin.
