		With Mac Lane he developed the theory of cohomology of groups, thus providing a proper setting for the remarkable theorem of Hopf on the homology of highly connected spaces.
		Category theory also developed into a mathematical subject with its own honorable history and practitioners, beginning with Mac Lane and including, notably, F. Lawvere, Sammy's most remarkable student, who saw it as a foundation for all of mathematics and justified this intuition with such innovations as categorical semantics and topos theory.
		He and Mac Lane had invented the subject, but to them it was always an applied subject, not an end in itself.

		To the Euclideanist, and even to the non-Euclidean structuralist, such as Mac Lane, there is no such territory except in an ephemeral sense: “Mathematics rests on proof — and proof is eternal.” To Jaffe and Quinn, only ‘Theoretical Mathematics’, as opposed to rigorous mathematics, is quasi-empirical in Lakatos’s sense, and hence speculative and fallible.
		Mac Lane holds “that a mathematical structure is a scientific structure but one which has many different empirical realizationsa careful formulation must rest on ideas independent of any chosen examples.” Nonetheless, the recent developments in geometry have shown that physics, at least, provides heuristic motivation.
