Determining the Derivatives of Fundamental Reality of Existence and Examining Their Level of Originality from Allameh Tabatabaee's Point of View

The fundamental reality of existence is the most important innovation of Mullasadra and the most essential philosophical principle of his transcendental philosophy. This principle has many derivatives and philosophical outcomes with the potential of theological originality which have taken the attention of Sadrist theologians. However, these outcomes have been discussed in the works of Mulla Sadra and his followers in an unsystematic manner. In this respect, it is Allameh Tabatabaee in "Nehayhat al-hekmah" who correctly and explicitly discusses these outcomes precisely after delineating and providing proof for the fundamental reality of existence. The present paper examines the propositions which are presented as the derivatives and outcomes of fundamental reality of existence. This way, it is shown that their focus is not exactly similar to that of fundamental reality of existence itself, and therefore they cannot be considered as universally applicable to all forms of existence. An issue that can have an effect on the degree of originality of these derivatives is their potential to be derived from the principle of fundamental reality of existence. This issue is related to the distinction mentioned above.
