Jacob Loewenberg (February 2, 1882 – March 27, 1969) was a Latvian-American philosopher.
[1] Loewenberg was born in Tukums, Russian Empire (present-day Latvia) and moved to Riga at age 13.
Fearing conscription by the Russian Army, he made his way to Boston in 1904 by way of Germany and England.
Loewenberg was accepted into Harvard College upon arrival and began studying philosophy, earning a bachelor's degree in 1908, a master's degree in 1909, and a doctorate in 1911 (with a thesis under the title The Genesis of Hegel's Dialectical Method).
[2] The California Supreme Court restored his position, and he retired as Professor Emeritus in 1952.
