    The Logic of Evaluation.Michael Scriven - unknown
    A sketch of the arguments for adding the logic of evaluation to the areas of argumentation that have been partly mapped and are worth further work by workers in rhetoric, argumentation, communication, critical thinking, and informal logic. Brief coverage of: the arguments that there cannot be any legitimate logic of evaluation; of the nature of evaluation ; and of the technical apparatus of evaluation logic.

    Fallacies of statistical substitution.Michael Scriven - 1987 - Argumentation 1 (3):333-349.
    Fallacies are the ‘ideal types of improper inference’, named only because they represent a common or seductive error. Naming them facilitates identification (reducing ‘false negatives’ in argument evaluation), but increases the risk of false positives; it is essentially a cost-effectiveness issue whether to introduce a new name. Statistical fallacies include errors of elementary experimental design, but also conceptual confusions, e.g. of cause with correlation, of association with guilt, where an illicit substitution is made. The focus here is on recent nationwide (...)

    The Limits of Explication.Michael Scriven - 2002 - Argumentation 16 (1):47-57.
    Part of logic consists in uncovering ways in which logical processes of great universality and utility are over-extended, e.g., in the misguided search for the cause of everything. It is suggested here that the search for missing premises defined as premises that make a deduction out of every argument has its own limits of sense. While often useful, it is sometimes just wrongly used by requiring that the reconstructed argument have the same categorical conclusion as the original one; and sometimes (...)

    The Objectivity of Aesthetic Evaluation.Michael Scriven - 1966 - The Monist 50 (2):159-187.
    Comparative or limited-field assessments of aesthetic merit can often be fairly easily defended. This paper is concerned with the more difficult problem of supporting absolute judgments of merit about art. Most people think they have an answer to this problem and express or presuppose it when they say, “Modern art is junk,” or “The gigantic stature of Mondrian is more easily recognized when one is able to examine more than a hundred works by him in a single show,” or “I (...)

    It is not an easy work to read, the phrasing being rather complicated, and the topics at times repetitious and intertwined; but great works do not have to be easy texts. It is the first of a proposed pair, its role being indicated by the sub-title: Problems in the Logic of Scientific Explanation. The next volume is to deal with the analysis of scientific concepts and inference. In the present work we may distinguish three groups of chapters. The first group (...)

    Jean-Paul Sartre: politics and culture in Postwar France.Michael Scriven - 1999 - New York: St. Martin's Press.
    This book offers an assessment of Sartre as an exemplary figure in the evolving political and cultural landscape of post-1945 France. Sartre's originality is located in the tense relationship that he maintained between deeply held revolutionary beliefs and a residual yet critical attachment to traditional forms of cultural expression. A series of case-studies centered on Gaullism, communism, Maoism, the theatre, art criticism, and the media, illustrates the continuing relevance and appeal of Sartre to the contemporary world.

    Jean-Paul Sartre: politique et culture dans la France de l'après-guerre.Michael Scriven & Corinne Reti - 2001 - La Chasse au Snark.
    Sartre tire son originalité de la tension forte qui existe chez lui entre des convictions politiques révolutionnaires profondes et un attachement persistant mais critique aux formes artistiques traditionnelles. Cette étude met en lumière le rôle fécond de passeur joué par Sartre entre deux périodes historiques. La première partie, centrée sur les positions politiques révolutionnaires de Sartre, explore durant la Guerre Froide, son opposition à la vision gaulliste de la France et sa relation problématique avec le Parti Communiste, puis, au lendemain (...)
