Tarbiat Modares University (TMU) Philosophical Thought 1973-2873 6 1 2026 02 05 Effect of Allameh Molla Abdellah Bahabadi’s Logical Heritage on the Formation of the Rule-Based Reasoning Style of Allameh Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai Effect of Allameh Molla Abdellah Bahabadi’s Logical Heritage on the Formation of the Rule-Based Reasoning Style of Allameh Seyyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai 109 124 28516 10.58209/jpt.6.1.109 FA H. Seraji Education Department of Region One, Ministry of Education, Yazd, Iran Journal Article 2025 12 11 This study examines the position of Allameh Molla Abdollah Behabadi 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". 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, 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 resulted from the continuity of the tradition of transmitting logic through the educational chain of the Hawza and from the influence of Behabadi's commentary on his intellectual system.
