Set theory and category theory share many similarities. We can view category theory as a *generalization* of set theory.

That is, it's meant to describe the same thing as set theory (everything?), but to do it in a more abstract manner, one that is more versatile and (hopefully) simpler. In other words, sets are an *example of a category* (the *proto-example*, we might say), and it is useful to have examples.
