About the Author

Elaine Landry is professor of philosophy at the University of California, Davis. Her research spans three broad areas within Philosophy of Science: history and philosophy of mathematics, history and philosophy of science, and Plato's philosophy of mathematics. She is one of few philosophers who works on building bridges between all of these areas of research. Her papers are referenced in the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy (SEP) under the entries for
both "Category Theory" and "Structural Realism"

Reviews

'Professor Landry is to be congratulated on putting together a stimulating volume that introduces a broad audience to so many of the key conceptual, foundational, and philosophical ideas driving contemporary work at the intersection of philosophy and category theory'
*Chris Kapulkin and Nicholas, The British Journal for Philosophy of Science*

'An excellent illustration of why category theory might interest a 'working' philosopher'
*John Dougherty, Philosophy of Science*

'An important and interesting work. Landry has curated some wonderful essays on category theory for the working philosopher, and as long as one goes in with an understanding of the difficulty of the material, I can heartily recommend it to the philosopher wishing to know more about category theory and its applications'
*Neil Barton, Philosophia Mathematica*

'Each chapter is such a rich source of knowledge that it deserves a review as long as the present one, for, while providing essential information on specific topics, each is more than just a survey of well-established contents: it offers a key for their unification, guides the reader through recent research, and investigates issues at the frontiers of mathematical knowledge which are relevant for applications to various scientific domains. There is a vivid sense of unity among most chapters as tiles of one work in progress, having importance for mathematics, logic and philosophy, even though, as one might expect, chapters differ in their emphasis on basic principles or approach them from different angles'
*Alberto Peruzzi, Notre Dome Philosophical Reviews*

'Professor Landry is to be congratulated on putting together a stimulating volume that introduces a broad audience to so many of the key conceptual, foundational, and philosophical ideas driving contemporary work at the intersection of philosophy and category theory'
*Chris Kapulkin and Nicholas Teh , BJPS*
