This original book builds a fascinating story about dogmatism identifying its transformations from an individual vice to a polemical device in various academic, political, and religious debates. Drawing on rich primary sources, Paul and Stoeger convincingly demonstrate the meanings that scholars have given to dogmatism in the history of knowledge over time.

Paul and Stoeger's Dogmatism offers a lucid and gripping presentation of an impressively rich material, combined with stimulating reflections on the ways in which intellectual history can return to questions of longue-durée continuity, as well as fertilize current interrogations in virtue and vice epistemology or the studies of cultural discourse.
