摘要：
This paper is an attempt to perform some semantic analysis of the concept of "entropy" as it is used in both thermodynamic and nonthermodynamic contexts. We first consider the relation between thermodynamic entropy as a semantic concept, a measured quantity of real systems; and statistical entropy as a syntactic concept, a calculated quantity in formal systems. We then consider the use of entropy as a measure of different types of systems, the origin and identification of emergent levels in physical systems, and the ontological status of nonthermodynamic entropies.
