We are sorry to hear of the passing of Dr. Abner Shimony, noted American physicist and philosopher of science.
Having earned a doctorate in philosophy from Yale University and a doctorate of physics from Princeton University, Dr. Shimony was a professor emeritus at Boston University and leaves behind a lifetime of work investigating the connections between physics and philosophy. Dr. Shimony also served in the U.S. Army’s Signal Corp of Engineers.
A detailed obituary and service information can be found here.
To honor Dr. Shimony’s life, we have made free a small collection of his work.
