This essay represents a kind of meta-theoretical comparison study, between different geometrization methods in theoretical physics: the old ones, belonging to classical differential geometry must (in the author's opinion) be replaced by some new methods, in the framework of ``abstract'' differential geometry (described as a general gauge theory on topological manifolds and fiber bundles).
