The paradoxes of thermodynamics and statistical physics are unavoidable in the study of physical paradoxes because of their importance at the time they came to be as well as the frequency of their appearance in historical studies of physics. In this work paradoxes are presented together with the historical studies of their creation, their solutions are given and they are analysed according to a number of characteristics: is it an exparadox, is it of theoretic or experimental nature, is it a thought experiment and the type of paradox it belongs to.
