I didn't find it dogmatic, only partially didactic (heh) -- that is, intended to teach but not necessarily with a moral in mind. What would that be?
Coming at the world from the background of four years of getting dialectical logic hammered into my head, I've always felt a bit off-kilter when I run into literary criticism. My brain still, to this day, follows the thesis/antithesis/synthesis/thesis pattern, and I often find myself fascinated by (and confused by) other methods of deconstructing arguments or texts.
I'd say didact away, but that sounds like a brand of foot cream. "Planter's warts? Use Didact Away, and you, too, could be on the moon beach and marginalized happy in fourteen days!"
