I had analyzed the past papers of philosophy and observed that according to recent trend paper 2 contains pretty much portion of muslim philosophy as compared to western but in mcqs, there is more weightage of western philosophy so one need to cover both portions to fetch good marks.
Please tell me is there any comprehensive book available in market that contain all these topics so one may get the required contents photocopied from it? Also do we need to study some book to understand history of philosophy before moving towards muslim or western philosophy?[/QUOTE]

Dear i think the biggest difficulty for aspirants regarding philosophy is its subject material.
I can not specify any single book.
Burtrand Russels book is comprehensive, but is quite difficult initially. Secondly the primary source for Paper II preparation is internet, search relavet material from it.

I am here mentioning a website, this might help you. the link is as under
