It is shown that there exists another way of answering the heat death puzzle, already present in the ancient philosophical tradition. This alternative route relies not only on the final duration of time (which has been re-discovered in modern times), but also on the notion of observational self-selection, which has received wide publicity in the last several decades under the title of the anthropic principle(s). We comment here on some further deficiencies of the account of Kutrov\u00e1tz. Although the questions Kutrov\u00e1tz raises are important and welcome, there are several errors in his treatment of cosmology which mar his account of the entire topic. In addition, the nascent discipline of physical eschatology holds promise of answering the basic explanatory task concerning the future evolution of the universe without appealing to metaphysics. This is a completely novel feature in the history of science, in contradistinction to the historical examples discussed by Kutrov\u00e1tz.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1023\/a:1019716815925","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,15]],"date-time":"2003-03-15T13:06:01Z","timestamp":1047733561000},"page":"291-299","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Entropy and Eschatology: A Comment on Kutrov\u00e1tz's Paper \"<i>Heat Death in Ancient and Modern Thermodynamics<\/i>\""],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"09","author":[{"given":"Milan M.","family":"\u0106irkovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Astronomical Observatory Belgrade, Volgina 7, 11160 Belgrade, Serbia, Yugoslavia"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1103\/RevModPhys.69.337"},{"key":"rf2","volume-title":"The Five Ages of the Universe","author":"Adams F.
