Abstract

The thesis to be presented here is that William Allen White came to formulate a social and political philosophy combining three elements: (1) the acceptance of a cyclic recurrence of action and reaction in social and political development, (2) the conviction that social and political advancement rests on the regeneration both of the individual and of society as a whole, and (3) an optimistic idealism based on the social and political application of the Christian ethic.
