He then presents a deep textual analysis of each writer and describes how their ideas are different and even how their ideas progressed over time. Next, the book explores category theory and details how it has revolutionized the notion of the axiomatic method. It considers the question of identity/equality in mathematics as well as examines the received theories of mathematical structuralism. In the end,. .Rodin. .presents a hypothetical New Axiomatic Method, which establishes closer relationships between mathematics and physics..Lawvere‘s axiomatization of topos theory and Voevodsky‘s axiomatization of higher homotopy theory exemplify a new way of axiomatic theory building, which goes beyond the classical Hilbert-style Axiomatic Method.
