Why Is Edwin Thompson Jaynes Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Edwin Thompson Jaynes was the Wayman Crow Distinguished Professor of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis. He wrote extensively on statistical mechanics and on foundations of probability and statistical inference, initiating in 1957 the maximum entropy interpretation of thermodynamics as being a particular application of more general Bayesian/information theory techniques . Jaynes strongly promoted the interpretation of probability theory as an extension of logic.
