Abstract
The basis of mathematics is set theory, to which almost all mathematical directions go back. However, the importance of category theory for mathematics as a whole is steadily increasing. If in set theory the determining role is played by the internal structure of the object under consideration, then in category theory an object is characterized by its connections with other objects. The article discusses the features of set-theoretic and category-theoretic approaches in mathematics.
