Holmstrom Homotopical mathematics

Some people seem to think that there is some kind of paradigm shift going on in mathematics. See for example the introduction of this paper of Toen. One thing that indicates that there might be some truth in this viewpoint is that Grothendieck spent a lot of time after his public mathematical career, thinking about homotopical structures (derivateurs, stacks, …).

Some interesting, philosophical documents:
