Abstract: Fengqi reveals that one of weaknesses of dogmatism lies in its neglect of the intersubjective dimension of thinking and the debates among opinions as the basic approach to truth, and makes a proposal of criticizing dogmatism through developing logic and emphasizing logical argument. Even though his understanding of logic is still restricted to the frame of subjective-objective relationship and the essential principles of methodology of his own cannot effectively overcome the weakness of dogmatism, Fengqi’s attempt to trace dialectic in Hegelian and Marxist sense back to dialectic as the art of argumentation, and the theoretical potentiality of the concept of dialectical argument show that there is a possibility of making his proposal be more fruitful.

Key words: dogmatism, logic, dialectic, Fengqi
