We treat the First Concepts that form the foundation of modern Mathematics as a set of primitives devoid of content and carrying little interest on their own. During the century since they were postulated Mathematics witnessed momentous development that was often dramatically changing the landscape of whole areas. One thing that remains constant is the First Concepts. Unsuspected depth of the First Concepts is what I will be talking about.
