Another work that I got at @maarefhekmeya from #ShaykhShafiqJaradi is the taqrirat of his classes on #BidayatalHikma of #Tabatabai - he is one of the rare #ShiiUlema in #Lebanon with a serious critical interest in #MullaSadra and the possibilities of #IslamicPhilosophy today 
But it’s a shame that #ShiiUlema on the whole have yet to embrace academic footnote culture - and the book needs an #index - still it’s better than most expositions of #BidayatalHikma 2/
One would also like to see a more critical engagement - many of us share a criticism of the efficacy of #Tabatabai in this work 3/
There were a number of attempts by the #hawza to respond to the challenges of #materialism all the way from #naturalism to #Marxist #dialectical materialism including this work of #MuhammadTaqiAmuli (d. 1971 #ShiiTheology #kalam_jadid 1/
Earlier there was the poem of #MuhammadHusayn Isfahani in Najaf entitled #Tuhfat_al_hakim published in the late 90s with the glosses of #MehdiHaeriYazdi (d. 1999) #ShiiTheology #kalam_jadid 2/
#AllamaTabatabai (d. 1981) works #Usul_e_falsafeh #BidayatalHikma and #NihayatalHikma are similar responses to materialism and working out the scope for #metaphysics and the life of the mind #ShiiTheology #kalam_jadid 3/
