Carl A. Raschke is the Chair and Professor of Religious Studies Department at the University of Denver, specializing in continental philosophy, the philosophy of religion and the theory of religion.〔(End of Theology )〕 He is known for his research on popular religion, philosophy of culture and philosophy of technology. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University.〔(Postmodernism and the Revolution in Religious Theory )〕〔(Carl Raschke's Call for a New Reformation )〕 ==Criticism== Raschke's work involving topics such has Satanism and heavy metal, in particular his 1990 book ''Painted Black'', have been highly criticized in academia. In an article on Wicca and the media for the ''Oxford Handbook of Religion and the News Media'' (2012), scholar Sarah M. Pike describes how reports during the trial for the West Memphis Three "failed to consult experts on Wicca and Satanism" but rather referred to material by Raschke, who she describes as a "widely discredited 'Satanism expert'".〔Pike (289-290).〕 Analyzing Raschke's works on heavy metal, scholar Robert Walser (2013) says that "the terrorism of Raschke and similar critics depends upon two tactics: anecdote and insinuation. Raschke himself cites a group of sociologists of religion who determined that there was 'not a shred of evidence' that Satanism is a problem in America, directly contradicting the thesis of Rashke's book."〔 Walser 2013: 142).〕 In an analysis of Raschke's role in adding fuel to the 1980s and early 1990s United States Satanic panic, scholar Eugene V. Gallagher (2004) notes that Raschke referred to critics of his works as "cult apologists" but says "the shrillness of Raschke's argument, however, ultimately fails to compensate for the paucity of evidence behind it".〔Raschke (2004:188-189).〕 Scholars Asbjørn Dyrendal, James R. Lewis, and Jesper AA. Petersen (2015) provide examples of Raschke "quoting … misleadingly and out of context" and "hav() forgotten all his academic training, and reverted, in a telling manner, to the folklore of evil". The scholars characterize Raschke as an "until-then well-reputed academic" (referring to the publication of ''Painted Black'').〔Dyrendal, Lewis, and Petersen (2015:102-104)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carl Raschke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
