Dogmática

Dogmática is a term often used in theology and philosophy to refer to a system of doctrines or beliefs that are considered to be authoritatively established and not subject to questioning. These doctrines, or dogmas, are typically derived from a particular religious tradition or a specific philosophical school of thought. The term "dogmática" itself implies a framework of established truths that are presented as unassailable.

In a religious context, dogmática refers to the core tenets and beliefs that define a faith. These are often codified in sacred texts, creeds, or pronouncements by religious authorities. Adherence to these dogmas is frequently seen as essential for membership or correct practice within that religion. The study and interpretation of these dogmas fall under the purview of systematic theology.

Philosophically, dogmática can describe a system of thought that asserts certain propositions as fundamentally true without engaging in critical examination or allowing for alternative interpretations. This can sometimes be associated with a rigid or unyielding approach to knowledge. However, the term is not exclusively negative; a well-defined dogmatic system can provide a coherent and structured understanding of a particular worldview. The critical examination of dogmática itself is a central concern in fields like epistemology and hermeneutics.
