Classical and quantum field theories may be thought of as appropriate functors from (some version of) the cobordism category. In this talk (based on joint work with Mnev and Reshetikhin) I will show how this can be obtained from the Lagrangian of a classical theory. In the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism the formalism is automatically enhanced to allow for manifolds with corners, which naturally yields a Lurie-type description.
