dogmatischen

Dogmatischen is the inflected form of the German adjective dogmatisch, meaning dogmatic or doctrinaire. It appears in contexts describing beliefs, theories, or attitudes regarded as asserting fixed truths. The base adjective dogmatisch derives from the Greek dogma, via Latin dogmaticus, and is used across philosophy, theology, and everyday language, often with a negative nuance indicating rigid adherence to doctrine.

Grammatical use: In German, dogmatisch declines according to the gender, number, and case of the noun it modifies. The form dogmatischen occurs in several common contexts, most notably as the plural nominative or accusative: die dogmatischen Ansichten; die dogmatischen Theologen. It also appears in the dative singular or plural after determiners: mit dem dogmatischen Standpunkt; den dogmatischen Lehren. The exact ending -en is the typical weak ending after definite articles or other determiners in many cases.

Common collocations: dogmatische Haltung, dogmatisches Denken, dogmatische Lehre, dogmatische Ansichten, dogmatischer Standpunkt. The term is often used critically to describe ideologies or methods that resist revision in light of new evidence.

In English, dogmatisch translates to dogmatic or dogmatical. The noun form dogmatismus refers to dogmatism, the broader tendency to assert opinions as established truths. See also dogma, dogmatic, dogmatism.
