Excerpt from Against Dogma and Free-Will and for Weismannism Some ingenious critic, after scanning the ensuing pages, may exclaim: here is a book against dogma, yet filled with dogma! The writer's reply to such an exaggeration of fact would be: that the Dogma referred to in the title is the Dogma of ecclesiasticism; that, to dogma, merely as dogma, he has no objection; that he is even prejudiced in its favour, provided the dogma be corroborated by Fact; that he is quite content if his own dogma stands or falls with the evidence on which it is based.
