The '''Howison Lectures in Philosophy''' are a lecture series established in 1919 by friends and former students of [[George Howison]], who served as the Mills Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity at the [[University of California, Berkeley]].

{{cquote|Professor Howison held the reasoned conviction that this world to its very depth is kindred to the human spirit; that it is a community of free persons, finite and infinite, sustained by the vision of the Perfect; and all his great powers were directed to awaken in others a loyalty to these ideas. And those, it would seem, would most speak from a foundation in his memory who were able to share with him this high purpose and conviction.|author=Founding donors of the Howison Lectures in Philosophy}}
