Sympathy for the Demon: rethinking Maxwell’s thought experiment in a Maxwellian vein

, 2021
In this paper I will defend an approach to the thought experiment known as ‘Maxwell’s Demon’ based on a Maxwellian conception of statistical mechanics. Instead of assuming that thermodynamic descriptions depend reductively on the dynamics of mo-lecular ...

Exorcist XIV: The Wrath of Maxwell’s Demon. Part I. From Maxwell to Szilard

, 1998
In this first part of a two-part paper, we describe efforts in the early decades of this century to restrict the extent of violations of the Second Law of thermodynamics that were brought to light by the rise of the kinetic theory and the identification ...

Probability and Typicality in Deterministic Physics [PDF]

, 2010
Recently it has been argued that typicality considerations play a crucial explanatory role in deterministic theories in physics (e.g. classical statistical mechanics and Bohmian mechanics).

Maxwell’s Demon, or God?

Maxwell's demon is standardly exorcised by appeal to the physics of information: a finite demon must eventually erase its memory, and by Landauer's principle that erasure produces enough entropy to save the second law.
