Argumentation of Order and the Second Law of Thermodynamic
Journal Title: جستارهایی در فلسفه و کلام - Year 2011, Vol 43, Issue 87
Abstract
The second law of thermodynamic (entropy principle) is of special theo-philosophical importance. It seems that this law, which is renowned as “the death of software design” and despite the order in the world, is like an incompatible universal. This article examines the concept of entropy in the three temperature, statistic, and information applications and addresses the contradiction of the second law with the minor premise of the argumentation of order and concludes that the order referred to in the argumentation of order is different from the application of this term in the second law and that the thermodynamic equilibrium of the natural processes can be a new explanation of order governing over the natural world.
