If you have no prior knowledge of it then I will advise you to go through some online books and notes of philosophy e.g. Copi's or Hurley's books on Logic and philosophies of Muslims and Western philosophers, then you will be in a better position to take decision but be careful! Never Never Never decide in hurry after reading just one page of first chapter. Better to do thorough analysis of each and every chapter to find whether you can digest it or not because you can't get good marks in CSS Exams without deep understanding of contents of subjects.

thank you so much Daisy. Are these books only to grok the initial concepts of philosophy, or are these advanced books?
Although i have studied Positivism, Dialectical Materialism etc but still i want to get hold of a simple, easy to understand book, in order to understand how technical the theories are to grasp. Quote:

Yes! That's good combination....which is greatly helpful in relation to compulsory subjects...Indo-Pak history in Pakistan & Current Affairs etc while Philosophy in Essay paper...!
Secondly, Philosophy is high-scoring subject which will also increase your critical, analytical and argumentative skills....In CSS Essay paper 2014, there were three completely philosophical essays such as "Language is a Fit Data for Research in Humanities & Social Sciences" & "Can Meaning Be Fixed?" (These topics are totally related with Philosophical theories i.e. Pragmatism, Logical Positivism, Analytic Philosophy, Structuralism, Hermeneutics etc.). After all, You need: For Paper I: A Concise Introduction to Logic by Patrick J. Hurley For Paper II: History of Philosophy Eastern & Western by Radhakrishnan Studies in Muslim Philosophy by M. Saeed Sheikh |

thank you sir for your encouraging reply. Yes, indeed CSS 2014 exam also tested the philosophical side of the candidates.. In fact i want to replace my old optional's (Journalism and Sociology) with Philosophy
In Css 2003, there was a complete essay on "existentialism".. So philosophy is getting increased importance in CSS Quote:
