Why Is Orly Shenker Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Orly Ruth Shenker is an Israeli philosopher of physics and philosopher of mind whose research topics have included Maxwell's demon, entropy and fractal geometry, viewed through a form of physicalism that she calls "flat physicalism". She is a professor of philosophy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where she holds the Eleanor Roosevelt Chair in History and Philosophy of Science. Until 2021 she was director of the Sidney M. Edelstein Centre for History and Philosophy of Science, Technology and Medicine. She is also founding president of The Pond: Network of Philosophy of Science around the Mediterranean, and editor-in-chief of the book series Jerusalem Studies in Philosophy and History of Science.
