Abstract
Based on the non-standard analysis by Robinson, a new definition of the entropy of general distributions is given as a straightforward extension of Shannon's discrete entropy. The newly defined entropy has natural properties such as positiveness and invariance under transformations unlike Shannon's continuous entropy. In the light of this new definition, the meaning of Shannon's continuous entropy will be more clearly seen.
