Abstract
THE authors explain that the term “dogmatism” is here used to denote the body of logical assumptions which were generally made by thinkers of all schools (e.g. Berkeley and Hume, as well as Descartes and Leibniz) before the rise of theories of social and organic evolution. The first part of the work is devoted to the analysis and illustration of the dogmatic principles. The second part, entitled “Revolution and Reaction,” deals with the opposition offered to the old dogmatism by the critical philosophy and absolute idealism. The third part, which is developed to greater length, deals with the pragmatist revolt.
