Can Interventionists be Neo-Russellians?Interventionism,the Open Systems Argument and the Arrow of Entropy
Russell on causation neo-Russellian views of causation interventionist theories of causation causation in the special sciences statistical mechanical account of causation
2016/6/15
Several proponents of the interventionist theory of causation have recently argued for a neo-Russellian account of causation. The paper discusses two strategies for interventionists to be neo-Russelli...
An Introduction to Logical Entropy and its Relation to Shannon Entropy
partition logic logical entropy Shannon entropy information as distinctions
2016/6/13
The logical basis for information theory is the newly developed logic of partitions that is dual to the usual Boolean logic of subsets. The key concept is a "distinction" of a partition, an ordered pa...
Is There a Unique Physical Entropy?Micro versus Macro
entropy Gibbs paradox (in)distinguishability
2016/5/30
Entropy in thermodynamics is an extensive quantity, whereas standard methods in statistical mechanics give rise to a non-extensive expression for the entropy. This discrepancy is often seen as a sign ...
Does a Low-Entropy Constraint Prevent Us from Influencing the Past?
Causation Time Thermodynamics
2008/4/11
David Albert (2000) and Barry Loewer (2007) have argued that the temporal asymmetry of our concept of causal influence or control is grounded in the statistical mechanical assumption of a low-entropy ...
In the sixth section of his light quantum paper of 1905, Einstein presented the miraculous argument, as I shall call it. Pointing out an analogy with ideal gases and dilute solutions, he showed that t...

Von Neumann (1932, Ch. 5) argued by means of a thought experiment involving measurements of spin observables that the quantum mechanical quantity is conceptually equivalent to thermodynamic entropy. W...
