Abstract
The classical theory of equilibrium thermodynamics is formulated in a canonical context which has been recently proposed by us. It is shown that the equations of state correspond to what in analytical mechanics is called an involution system. The classical conditions of thermodynamic stability are deduced from a variational principle for the entropy function.
