Hello,

I am looking for papers which interpret the conceptual framework (Stability, Simplicity..) of Shelah's Classification theory in purely categorical terminology.

In spite of a remark (page 58, Accessible Categories: Makkai and Pare/ Cont maths 104)

`one of the chief aims of clasification theory as pursued by S.Shelah is to answer a purely categorical inquiry about completely elemntary categories.'

I have not been able to find further information about this aspect.

I will be grateful for any pointers.

Sincerely, P.S.Subramanian, Tata Institute.

I don't know of anything treating this directly, but you may have a look at: "Accessible categories, saturation and categoricity" by J. Rosicky, J. Symbolic Logic 62 (1997), 891-901.
