We present a new approach to far-from-equilibrium statistical mechanics, based on the concept of generalized entropy, which is a microscopically-defined generalization of Onsager-Machlup functional. In the case when a set of slow (adiabatic) variables can be chosen, our formalism yields a general form of the macroscopic evolution law (Generalized Langevin Equation) and extends Fluctuation Dissipative Theorem. It also provides for a simple understanding of recently-discovered Fluctuation Theorem
