We derive a microscopic expression of the Clausius inequality for isothermal open systems within the fundamental Hamiltonian dynamics. We also show the positivity of the dissipative work, which is a path integral generalization of the so-called relative entropy for the probability functionals of time forward- and reversed- trajectories.
