“Dogmatic” is a property of the reasoning process leading to accepting a belief or defending it from criticism. It’s not a property of the belief itself. The fact that a belief involves making a very general claim, for example, or a very bold one, does not mean that the belief is (therefore) necessarily dogmatic. If you don’t know what arguments a person would give for their beliefs, then you don’t yet have any idea whether or not their beliefs are dogmatic. #PhilosophicalPSA
