 Robert Harry Lowie Biography / Biography of Robert Harry Lowie Biography
Robert H. Lowie was born on June 12, 1883, in Vienna.
Lowie's major contributions to American anthropology were theoretical, although his own fieldwork provided examples.
These books were in some ways closer to Lowie's teaching than to his fieldwork since they attempted to place anthropology as he saw it in a meaningful context for students and interested laymen as well as for his colleagues.

Lowie's principal interests were in ethnological theory, in- cluding the history of such theory, and in social organization, especially kinship, marriage, the family, kinship terminology, men's and women's societies including age-grade societies, and political and social organization.
Lowie did not do original research on physical anthropology or archae- ology, which were little developed during his active years, and he did not have a major interest in language.
Lowie taught in the New York public school system from 1901, when he was graduated from the City College of New York, until 1904, when he entered Columbia University as a graduate student to study anthropology under Franz Boas.

ROBERT LOWIE's death on September 21, 1957 not only removed from anthropology one of its most distinguished scholars, but also removed one of the most distinctive figures from the realm of the social sciences.
Lowie's philosophic interests lasted for a very long time, and he gave a number of lectures on philosophical subjects during the first few years after he came to Berkeley.
Lowie spent twelve years in various positions at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and thirty years as a teacher at the University of California.

 Mirror, Chapter 9
Robert Lowie for example was an Austrian who emigrated to America at 10 years of age.
  Thus the Boasians would agreed wit Robert Pirsig's (1974: 267) argument that  "The place to improve the world first is in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outwards from there."   Boas' own experiences point up the sort of oppositions that confronted reform-minded ethnographers.
In 1919, Boas wrote  public denunciations of the use of anthropologists as spies in Central America  And for that he was censured and remove from his seat on the National Research Council by the "waspish" powers at Harvard and in Washington.

 Partisan Review
His concern in ethnology was largely due to his discovery of Robert Lowie’s Traité de sociologie primitive.
Lévi-Strauss had been attracted to Lowie because he was both "theorist [and] field researcher." Between the two World Wars, social studies in France were severely hampered by lack of funds and organization, and were lagging behind social studies in countries like Germany and the United States.
One prominent French sociologist openly deplored "the pitiful state of the teaching of social sciences in France." Philosophy was the supreme tool of access to knowledge, even as intellectuals who had emigrated from other European countries were beginning to create a "porous frontier" between the different fields within traditional social studies—philosophy, sociology, ethnology, and psychoanalysis.
