I will consider the physical background, and general thinking behind, the recent programme aimed at applying topos theory to the foundations of physics.

There are several different approaches to noncommutative algebraic geometry. I will present one of these approaches. A noncommutative space will be an (abelian) category. I will show how to associate a ringed space to a category. In the case of the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a scheme this construction will recover the scheme back. I will also give examples coming from quantum groups.
