I recently enjoyed this presentation by Sean Carroll that touches on definitional and philosophical issues with entropy. The talk made me feel less stupid for not feeling entirely comfortable with how entropy was explained to me before. Turns out there are a few different ways to define and quantify entropy that are used in different contexts and they each have some unresolved philosophical issues.
