Keep in mind that the problem with contemporary academic philosophy is not that it is insufficiently tolerant of dissent. The field practically self-defines as an unresolvable argument
I agree with this. Academic philosophy may represent an example of a field not being dogmatic enough, which is a relatively rare failure mode.
Exactly. It is also seems like a relatively new failure mode- all the examples that come to mind are in the last 60 years. The anti-dogmatism meme seems to be very well adapted to the recent changes in the cultural environment.
