In the context of science, according to the passage, the interaction of dogmatic beliefs and critical attitude can be best described as:
Explanation:
The answer is derived from “for the critical attitude is not so much opposed to the dogmatic attitude as super- imposed upon it: criticism must be directed against existing and influential beliefs in need of critical revision- in other words, dogmatic beliefs. A critical attitude needs for its raw material, as it were, theories or beliefs which are held more or less dogmatically.” Based on this principle option 1 is eliminated there is neither raw material nor any critical revision in the example of warriors. Option 3 is eliminated because it talks about a transformation, whereas the passage only talks about a refinement. Options 4 and 5 talk about something ‘feeding’ or ‘growing’ on something else. Science does not ‘feed’ or ‘grow’ on dogma. Both are eliminated. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
