From the reviews:“Krömer provides a more complete historical study of category theory and its applications from the beginnings to about 1970. … It caught the attention of people interested in conceptual and philosophical issues … . I recommend Krömer’s work highly to anyone who seeks to gain an understanding of category-theoretic mathematics … . an interesting contribution to the historical philosophy of mathematical practice … . the book is more successful as a history. It is well produced, and the English is clear enough … .” (José Ferreirós, Zeitschrift für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, Technik und Medizin, Issue 1, 2010)
