This article explores the relationship between Hayden White and the critical pluralism practiced by the members of the Chicago School, and more specifically the concept of historical pluralism proposed by the author in one of his articles not published in book form, Historical Pluralism. In order to conduct the analysis of this proposed concept, the event that had motivated White's text will be discussed in particular, namely the public debate among the critics, Wayne Booth, Abrams and Hillis Miller, which occurred in the 70s.
