In this Chapter I shall discuss a notion, which have been already used throughout this book, namely, the notion of mathematical structure. I shall also discuss a philosophical view known as structuralism and analyze its relationships with the category theory. According to a popular opinion the category theory wholly justifies the structural approach in mathematics and provides a framework for developing the structural mathematics.
