1 Preface In these three chapters I treat a variety of issues that surround the current state of set theory. Through an analysis of the relationships between set theory and other branches of mathematics, I try to paint a truer picture of the nature of the theory of sets than what seems to be the prevalent characterization of the subject. This same analysis directs my approach to questions about...

A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if each of its nontrivial normal subgroups is transitive. A structure theorem for finite quasiprimitive permutation groups is proved, along the lines of the O'NanScott Theorem for finite primitive permutation groups. It is shown that every finite, non-bipartite, 2-arc transitive graph is a cover of a quasiprimitive 2-arc transitive graph. The str...
