Bayes's theorem is a tool for assessing how probable evidence makes some hypotheses. The papers in this volume consider the theorem's worth, its applicability in assessing various forms of evidence, and the philosophical issues surrounding the theorem. The volume ends with the original paper containing the theorem, presented to the Royal Society in 1763.

This book [is] very edifying and clear, and the debates and issues it encompasses are of great importance for contemporary philosophy of probablility, statistics, and decision-making. I highly recommend this book to anyone with interests in these areas. Branden Fitelson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
