In order to calculate W, one needs a complete (molecular-mechanical) theory of the system under consideration. Therefore it is dubious whether the Boltzmann principle has any meaning without a complete molecular-mechanical theory or some other theory which describes the elementary processes. S=R/N log W + const. seems without content, from a phenomenological point of view, without giving in addition such an Elementartheorie."] (Translation: Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord.
