Categorical Logic. Logic via categories: classifying topoi and Lawvere theories.

Foundations and canonical references

The standard treatments of categorical logic approach the subject from complementary angles. Jacobs, Categorical Logic and Type Theory (1999) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to.

Open methodological questions for categorical logic include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
