This series represents a small sampling of Victor Lowe's writings before he began the biography of Alfred North Whitehead. Most of the material supports the philosophical concepts which formed the basis of his journal articles published in the 1950s. Among the correspondents are Nelson Goodman and Richard Wollheim. Sections also include secondary material and a few lecture notes from 1965 and 1973.

Of interest in this series is the C. I. Lewis research contained in Box 3.2. A typescript of a paper by Lewis most likely written in the 1950s is entitled "Values and Facts." Lowe noted the paper "unpublished." Lowe's holographic notes from an interview with Lewis in 1954 are also included, along with reprints of Lewis's published articles, 1930-1965.

A section of correspondence is contained in Box 3.2. The letters relate mostly to the publication of Understanding Whitehead in 1962. Other correspondence is from scholars and "lay" philosophers who sought Lowe's help in clarifying areas of Whiteheadian thought.
