Описание:

The main goal of the book under review is to provide a systematic and profound analysis of several important historical and epistemological aspects of category theory. The central theme of the book is to give an analysis of the remarkable fact that category theory gained position in daily mathematics as a useful and legitimate conceptual innovation, in spite of the difficulties of its set-theoretical foundations and the challenge it caused to this formerly well-established mathematical foundation and to some epistemological positions.
