Stephen K. White (born 1949),[1] is James Hart Professor of Politics at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on critical social and political theory, philosophy of social science, and continental political thought. He has contributed to several scholarly works on Jürgen Habermas, including The Cambridge Companion to Habermas, which he edited.[2] He is also a past editor of the journal Political Theory.

Recently, White's research has focused upon the concept of weak ontology, which he uses to describe a non-foundationalist approach to normative affirmation[clarification needed] extrapolated from the works of George Kateb, Charles Taylor, Judith Butler, and William E. Connolly.
