AoA, Can you please share your strategy for philosophy papers,And which books/materials should be consulted for both papers(I-II) in the limited time left.

Walaikum salam,

Well, you have ample time so far to cover philosophy. It can be covered within 20 days with 3 hours daily studies.

I followed AP Series book for the chapters of intro, methods, Epistemology, Ontology along with internet. I used to read the topics from the book and when I feel difficulty, then went for google to understand. I prepared outline notes and collected quotes and facts figures with my own understood examples.

Muslim thinksers' chapter is too lengthily, for muslim thinkers, read the following books:
1-Muslim Political Thoughts by Aslam Chaudhri
2-Muslim philosopher (I have this book in urdu, it is a simple book of MA Political Sc)

As far as Ethics is concerned, read pleasure of philosophy, or you can also do it from internet by topic wise. Try to understand morality, The challenge of cultural relativism; Psychological and ethical egoism: Virtue Ethics (Aristotle), MoralAbsolutism (Kant), Utilitarianism (Mill), Social Contract Theory. This chapter needs understanding and try to make your own examples from current affairs or every day life.

For contemporary philosophical movements, I followed only internet because I could not get the required material from books. AP series contains all topics but all is copied from wikipedia and it is not worth to read. This chapter sucked my blood and made me mad really.

If you feel any difficulty in any topic, feel free to ask, I will try my part best to help you with my little knowledge.

Jazak'allah

Thanks dear.
I mistakenly wrote both papers in my first post , i wanted to ask about the different parts i.e Contemporary Philosophical Movements ,Muslim Thinkers, and the Ethics portion(what do you think AP series is sufficient for these portion or not)

Yes it was lucid you were asking about the current philosophy

No, AP series is not adequate to cover whole syllabus. You need to follow the above books along with the source of internet.
