AbstractIn this short paper we try to describe the fundamental contribution of Quillenin the development of abstract homotopy theory and we explain how he uses this theory to lay the foundations of rational homotopy theory.

The recent discovery of an interpretation of constructive type theory into abstract homotopy theory suggests a new approach to the foundations of mathematics with intrinsic geometric content and a computational implementation. Voevodsky has proposed such a program, including a new axiom with both geometric and logical significance: the univalence axiom. It captures the familiar aspect of informal mathematical practice according to which one can identify isomorphic objects. This powerful addition to homotopy type theory gives the new system of foundations a distinctly structural character.
