from sets to types to categories to sets: category theory and the foundations of mathematics

“Note that in the above construction we made a number of choices; here we must beware. Choosing a good categorification – like designing a good algebraic structure such as that of preorders or quantales – is part of the art of mathematics. There is no prescribed way to categorify, and the success of a chosen categorification is rather empirical: its richer structure should allow us more insights into the subject we want to model.”

“The language of categories is affectionately known as "abstract nonsense," so named by Norman Steenrod. This term is essentially accurate and not necessarily derogatory: categories refer to "nonsense" in the sense that they are all about the "structure," and not about the "meaning," of what they represent.”
