An Analysis of the Role of Allameh Molla Abdellah Bahabadi Yazdi’s Logical Heritage in the Formation of the Rule-Based Reasoning Style of Allameh Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai

Abstract: (20 Views)

This study examines the position of Allameh Molla Abdollah Behabadi (d. 1573) as one of the architects of the tradition of teaching logic in the Islamic world, using an analytical-comparative and historical-textual method. Despite the four-hundred-year gap that makes direct influence impossible, the focus is on the indirect transmission of this tradition and the common language of logic. The findings show that Allameh Tabatabaei internalized the demonstrative structure of Molla Abdollah Behabadi's commentary on Tahdhib al-Mantiq and applied it in his works, such as Bidayah wa Nihayah and Al-Mizan. His innovations were in the continuation of a logical-intellectual tradition, of which Allameh Behabadi was a key architect. This study emphasizes that Allameh Tabatabaei's rule-based, body-positivist, and rationalist style of argumentation was the result of the continuity of the tradition of transmitting logic through the educational chain of the Hawza and the influence of Behabadi's commentary on his intellectual system.

Keywords: Allameh Molla Abdellah Bahabadi Yazdi, Allameh Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai, Marginalia on Tahdhib al-Mantiq, rule-based reasoning style, logic education model, educational genealogy.
