I'm wondering a= bout the connection of Bourbaki to category theory. The copy of "Theory of = Sets" that I have says it's written in 1970. Yet, Dieudonn=E9 famously saii= d that the theory of functors subsumed Bourbaki's theory of structures... a= nd, also, Bourbaki's theory of structures is very clearly a theory of a typ= e of concrete categories. On the other hand, I've seen claims that the cate= gorists' use of "morphism" comes from Bourbaki. So who was first? Does anyo= ne here know when Bourbaki's theory of structures was really conceived? I g= uess this might be self-evident to anyone born during the 1st half of the 2= 0th century, but it has turned out to be really hard to find out for me. Thanks in advance, staffan= [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
