Morton White and the Regularity Theory of Historical Explanation
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Morton White and the Regularity Theory of Historical Explanation
Monday 29 April 2024 is the 107th anniversary of the birth of Morton White (29 April 1917 – 27 May 2016), who was born in New York City on this date in 1917.
White was an analytical philosopher of history who rejected speculative philosophy of history, but in rejecting historical generalizations while accepting a form of Hempel’s covering law model of historical explanation he created a problem for himself. How can we formulate regularities of historical explanation without approximating a speculative philosophy of history that sees regularity in the events that comprise history?
