	Talk:Andrew Dickson White - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrew Dickson White has been listed as a good article on a historical figure for meeting the criteria for this category of articles.
		The axe to grind (as you suggest on the conflict thesis page) is that, unlike with Ptolemy, the incorrectness of White in particular and the conflict thesis in general is not widely understood, except among scholars.
		White's motivations are indeed the typical 19th C. scientistic ones that see dogmatic religion as hostile to science and progress, and I think this is what explains his popularity (ostensibly not amongst historians of science) in the US today.

		Nach dem Abschluss seines Studiums an der Yale University 1853 verbrachte White drei Jahre mit Studien in Europa, ehe er in die Vereinigten Staaten zurückkehrte, um eine Professur für Geschichte und englische Literatur an der University of Michigan anzutreten.
		Tolstois Begeisterung für das Mormonentum weckte ein vergleichbares Interesse in White, der, wie die meisten gebildeten Amerikaner seiner Zeit, den Heiligen der Letzten Tage eher ablehnend gegenübergestanden hatte und sie für eine gefährliche Sekte hielt.
		Nach seiner Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten nutzte er die relative Nähe von Cornell zu ursprünglichen Stammland der Mormonen nahe Rochester, um eine Sammlung von Erinnerungsstücken einschließlich vieler Originalabschriften des Buches Mormon zusammenzutragen, wie sie nur noch in der mormonischen Kirche und deren Universität, der Brigham Young University, gefunden werden kann.
