Implication details

Claim: If a category is essentially finite and is filtered and is thin, then it has a terminal object.

Proof: Let C\C be a thin, filtered, and w.l.o.g. finite category. The identity diagram C→C\C \to \C admits a cocone. That is, there is an object TT with a morphism A→TA \to T for all A∈CA \in \C. Then TT is terminal.

This implication has a dual.
