In [[Pyrrhonism]], "dogma" refers to assent to a proposition about a non-evident matter.<ref>Sextus Empiricus, 'Outlines of Pyrrhonism', I. 13.</ref> The main principle of Pyrrhonism is expressed by the word ''[[acatalepsia]]'', which connotes the ability to withhold assent from doctrines regarding the truth of [[Noumenon|things in their own nature]]; against every statement its contradiction may be advanced with equal justification. Consequently, Pyrrhonists withhold assent with regard to non-evident propositions, i.e., dogmas.<ref>Sextus Empiricus, 'Outlines of Pyrrhonism', I. 14.</ref>  Pyrrhonists argue that dogmatists, such as the [[Stoicism|Stoics]], [[Epicureanism|Epicureans]], and [[Peripatetic school|Peripatetics]], have failed to demonstrate that their doctrines regarding non-evident matters are true.
