This is a collection of essays on various issues in the philosophy of science, with special emphasis on the foundations of probability and statistics, and quantum mechanics. The main topics are: subjective probability, Bayesian statistics, probability kinematics, causal decision making, and probability and realism in quantum mechanics. Various aspects of the problem of collecting new evidence and updating probability judgements are addressed by reference to different applications. The book puts together contributions by philosophers and will appeal to all those interested in the foundations of probability and physical science.
