This is mainly a philosophical book with a focus on methodological aspects of how we should grasp our world to scientifically understand it. The author explains his view toward the leading role of the notion of structural analyses in this undertaking.NEWLINENEWLINEThe notion of structure used here is quite general, and hence to some extent vague, and therefore not any one of the standard mathematical notions of structure. However, the different mathematical approaches toward structures become reflected in suitable situations.NEWLINENEWLINEThus the book aims to open ways toward introducing mathematization in quite different fields of science and the humanities.
