Gs-4 : Ethics / Essay

➡️Camus, a French existentialist, is noted for his non-confrontational form of atheism, which is likened to the gentle and intellectual atheism associated with Eastern philosophies of Buddha and Mahavir. This form of atheism does not attack theism but coexists with it- a crucial component of ethical governance and polity.

🛑Camus' perspective advocates an approach that avoids divisiveness and promotes understanding and acceptance. This resonates with the ethical doctrine of 'public service' and 'commitment to public good' - UPSC GS 4 syllabus
