Gila Sher is an American logician and professor of philosophy at the University of California, San Diego.
In 1989, Sher earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from Columbia University,[1] where she studied the works of Willard Quine and Alfred Tarski.
Her dissertation was expanded into the book The Bounds of Logic (1991),[4] in which Sher also formalized definitions for unique second-order quantifiers such as 'most'.
She has argued that strict-ordering foundationalism, in the vein of Rudolf Carnap, is untenable, supporting Quine's argument from Two Dogmas of Empiricism.
She is also a leading Quine scholar, writing about the place of philosophy in his theory of naturalized epistemology.
