(non-admin closure)

– The category theoretic definition should not be the primary topic. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 00:56, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

  • Comment. Can you explain why mathematical topoi should not be the primary topic? Ozob (talk) 01:41, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
  • :Because historically the term appears for the first time on Aristotle work about argumentation ("The Topics" and "the Rhetoric"). I suggest that the article "Topos" has either a general article addressing not only the mathematician definition but also the other definition (on rhetoric topos and on literary topos), or that the title be changed to "Topos (mathematics)".
