I will argue, pace a great many of my contemporaries, that there's something right about Boltzmann's attempt to ground the second law of thermodynamics in a suitably amended deterministic time-reversal invariant classical dynamics, and that in order to appreciate what's right about (what was at least at one time) Boltzmann's explanatory project, one has to fully apprehend the nature of microphysical causal structure, time-reversal invariance, and the relationship between Boltzmann entropy and the work of Rudolf Clausius.

在克劳修斯熵的赞扬中：重新评估玻尔兹曼统计力学的基础

我会认为，步伐非常多我的同龄人，那有关于玻尔兹曼企图地热力学第二定律在适当的修改确定的时间反演不变的经典动力学正确的事情，那才能体会什么是正确的约（什么至少一次）玻尔兹曼的解释性研究，必须充分理解微观物理因果 结构的性质 ，时间反转不变性以及玻尔兹曼熵与鲁道夫·克劳修斯的工作之间的关系。
