Introduction and background / Deborah G. Mayo and Aris Spanos -- 1. Learning from error, severe testing, and the growth of theoretical knowledge / Deborah G. Mayo -- 2. The life of theory in the new experimentalism : can scientific theories be warranted? / Alan Chalmers -- Can scientific theories be warranted with severity? : exchanges with Alan Chalmers / Deborah G. Mayo -- 3. Revisiting critical rationalism -- Critical rationalism, explanation, and severe tests / Alan Musgrave -- Toward progressive critical rationalism : exchanges with Alan Musgrave / Deborah G. Mayo -- 4. Theory confirmation and novel evidence -- Error, tests, and theory confirmation / John Worrall -- Ad hoc save of a theory of adhocness? : exchanges with John Worrall / Deborah G. Mayo -- 5. Induction and severe testing -- Mill's sins or Mayo's errors? / Peter Achinstein -- Sins of the epistemic probabilist : exchanges with Peter Achinstein / Deborah G. Mayo -- 6. Theory testing in economics and the error-statistical perspective / Aris Spanos -- 7. New perspectives on (some old) problems of frequentist statistics -- Frequentist statistics as a theory of inductive inference / Deborah G. Mayo and David Cox -- Objectivity and conditionality in frequentist inference / David Cox and Deborah G. Mayo -- An error in the argument from conditionality and sufficiency to the likelihood principle / Deborah G. Mayo -- On a new philosophy of frequentist inference : exchanges with David Cox and Deborah G. Mayo / Aris Spanos -- 8. Causal modeling, explanation and severe testing -- Explanation and truth / Clark Glymour -- Explanation and testing exchanges with Clark Glymour / Deborah G. Mayo -- Graphical causal modeling and error statistics : exchanges with Clark Glymour / Aris Spanos -- 9. Error and legal epistemology -- Anomaly of affirmative defenses / Larry Laudan -- Error and the law : exchanges with Larry Laudan / Deborah G. Mayo.

Although both philosophers and scientists are interested in how to obtain reliable knowledge in the face of error, there is a gap between their perspectives that has been an obstacle to progress. By means of a series of exchanges between the editors and leaders from the philosophy of science, statistics and economics, this volume offers a cumulative introduction connecting problems of traditional philosophy of science to problems of inference in statistical and empirical modelling practice. Philosophers of science and scientific practitioners are challenged to reevaluate the assumptions of their own theories - philosophical or methodological. Practitioners may better appreciate the foundational issues around which their questions revolve and thereby become better 'applied philosophers'. Conversely, new avenues emerge for finally solving recalcitrant philosophical problems of induction, explanation and theory testing.
