DOGMATISM, CRITICISM AND DYNAMICS OF KNOWLEDGE. INTERPRETATION OF CRITICAL RATIONALISM AND SOME OF ITS INSUFFICIENCIES

Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between dogmatism and criticism, grounded in the interpretation offered by critical rationalism (Popper, Albert). First, the concept of dogmatic assumptions, or dogma, is presented as it has been shaped within the framework of theology, in the sense of church dogmas on which faith is based, and structural similarities with dogmas in other domains are pointed out. Following this, the interpretation of dogmatism, as offered by H. Albert with reference to H. Dingler, is presented. The question of epistemological motivation for resorting to dogmatism, as well as the relationship between foundational thinking and criticism, is raised, with certain objections to the solution offered by critical rationalism. Finally, the self-application of the “principle of criticism” by the very classics of critical rationalism is questioned.
