4. Uyun al Hikmah was written by: Ibn Sina
5. Who said that to be is to be perceived: Berkeley
6. Hujjut al Balighah written by: Shah Wali Ullah
7. 'Real is rational and rational is real' is said by: Hegel
8. Who talked of life force vs. matter (options were Islamic philosophers, Ghazali, Ibn Sina etc)
9. Who said 'truth is that which works': (not sure between Pierce, James, Rorty)
10. The philosophy that says 'greatest happiness of the greatest maximum people' is: Utilitarianism
11. Discourse a la Method is written by: Descartes
12. Something related to ethics like 'it is better to control --- than to punish'.. I can't recall.

These are all the MCQs I managed to note down, but rest assured that other MCQs were similar. Hopefully someone else will fill the gaps and provide answers where I couldn't give them.
