Morton White war ein bedeutender amerikanischer Philosoph und Ideenhistoriker, der als zentrale Figur der philosophischen Strömung des holistischen Pragmatismus anerkannt ist. Seine Arbeit zielte darauf ab, die pragmatische und analytische Tradition innerhalb der amerikanischen Philosophie zu verbinden, und zeigte ein großes Interesse an der Entwicklung des intellektuellen Denkens. White wandte den holistischen Pragmatismus nicht nur auf die Wissenschaft, sondern auch auf breitere kulturelle Institutionen wie Recht und Kunst an. Seine Forschungen bieten eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit philosophischen Strömungen und ihrer historischen Entwicklung im amerikanischen Kontext.
