The paper offers an analysis of reversibility, a stylistic strategy philosophers employ when solving theoretical dilemmas. Reversibility means oscillating of a philosopher between two contradictory truths or dogmas. First, the adherent of reversibility faces two contradictory truths or dogmas. What follows is a rejection or an acceptance of both poles. In contrast to the style of the authors using the principle of reversibility, the paper describes a specific stylistic strategy preferred by dogmatic philosophers, one marked by moderate modality and certainty of epistemological assertions. But one group of dogmatists also employs a specific kind of reversibility: the new, 'original' and 'controversial' theory is always postulated in direct opposition to the prevailing doctrine of the day. Regardless to the anti-dogmatic ethos of our times, the comparison of the two strategies shows, that the strategy of dogmatic authors is 'more successful' than writing which avoids an unambiguous standpoint.

Traditional normative of the neutral style did not prove itself to be the only appropriate critical approach to the obscure style widespread in continental theories. Against the thesis on the self-reference of the text (by which some of the poststructuralists tend to defend the obscure style) the author argues, that it is not 'the text self-irony', but rather 'the author's illusion about his/her importance', that is responsible for the dynamics of the style. The instantiation of this illusion is a 'dogmatic style'. The latter is characterized by an apparent identification of the author with the written text. In conclusion the author tries to answers the following questions: Does 'the dogmatism of writing' apply to all philosophical writing, or even to all literary writing? Is the self-irony or self-reflection of philosophy effective as a tool against such an expanding of dogmatism on the philosophy as a whole?
