LessonsIntroduction: Structure, Three Disciplines and Kinds of PrefaceQuiz

The introduction also addresses the position of the conclusion:

وَجَعْلُ الْخَاتِمَةِ خَارِجَةً عَنِ الْفَنِّ الثَّالِثِ وَهْمٌ
It is a misconception to treat the conclusion as outside the third discipline.

A section called a 'conclusion' does not necessarily fall outside the third discipline simply because of its heading. Its disciplinary location depends on its subject matter.

Accordingly, a concluding portion of a discipline is not automatically a separate fourth discipline. This resolves a possible misunderstanding in the book's overall structure.
