Equipped — and the bridge to Falsafa: The summary slide states what Mantiq has equipped the student with, and builds the bridge to Falsafa: Mulla Sadra, Asalat al-Wujud (the primacy of existence). The next course begins where Mantiq ends.
After the Necessary Being, deeper questions: After the proof of the Necessary Being, Falsafa asks the deeper questions: what is existence itself? How does the One relate to the many?
The bridge is Bidayat al-Hikmah: What is the soul? The bridge is Tabataba'i's Bidayat al-Hikmah, which begins exactly where this course ends.
Brick by brick: You are building the complete intellectual structure, brick by brick.
Example
