The present volume contains the proceedings of the conference on
"Prob- ability, dynamics and causality" that took place in Luino on
June 15-17, 1995. This was the third conference on topics related
to the foundations of probability and statistics held in Luino,
following that on "Probability, statistics and inductive logic"
(1981) and that on "Statistics in science" (1988). 1 Like the
previous ones, the conference brought together people working on
the foundations of probability and statistics, as well as their
applica- tion to science. The meeting opened with a session on
"Exchangeability" including the papers by Persi Diaconis and Susan
Holmes, Eugenio Regaz- zini and Attilio Wedlin, followed by one on
"Sufficiency, frequentism and analogy", including the papers by
Colin Howson, Alan Hajek and Roberto Festa. The second day of the
meeting was in honour of Dick Jeffrey, on the occasion of his
forthcoming 70th birthday (August 5, 1996). Dick also took part in
the previous meetings and, to use a term dear to him, we consider
him the guru of the Luino conferences. The papers by Maria Car- la
Ga1avotti, Sandy Zabell, Brian Skyrms, Cristina Bicchieri and
Richard Jeffrey himself all belong to this section of the
conference. The third day included two sessions, devoted to
"Probability and quantum mechanics" and "Probability in physical
science". Abner Shimony, Giancarlo Ghirar- di, Francesco De
Martini, Nino Zanghi, Domenico Costantini and Ubaldo Garibaldi gave
talks in these sessions.
