In preparation for a new anthology I have coming out later this year, which will be available in all formats, I just created a hardback edition of its companion volume. So if you want a complete set of my anthologies in hardback, you can start collecting now!

The old book coming into hardback is Hitler Homer Bible Christ: The Historical Papers of Richard Carrier 1995–2013 (2014). You can now select a “hardback” option to buy there. It’s pricier (as hardbacks always are) and it isn’t replacing the paperback (so you can still get that, and at the original price despite inflation!). But the fancier option is now available.

That old volume contains all my peer reviewed articles (and magazine articles) in the subject of history, plus a few research papers and other articles of relevance, and updates and epilogues for the other stuff. I have more peer reviewed articles in history coming but it will be years before there is enough for another anthology for it all (though eventually there may be one, making a third volume).

The new book coming in all editions will be From Ontology to Morality: The Philosophical Papers of Richard Carrier 1996–2025 (2026). That will be the same kind of thing, only it will contain all of my peer reviewed articles to date in the subject of philosophy (rather than history), again with some updates and epilogues.

That will also contain two new articles available nowhere else: “Is Philosophy Stupid?” which turns my slides and lecture notes into a coherent (and more up to date) essay; and “The Ontology of Absolutely Everything,” which will be my first-ever concise survey of how physicalism explains all known facts (including the ontology of logic, qualia, morality, beauty, abstractions, propositions, and everything else), written with updated precision and academic rigor, and citations to concurring academic studies.

I’ll say more when that book comes out (it will get its own announcement on my blog) but with all my academic papers together like that, I realize now that From Ontology to Morality will amount to the most thorough refutation of theism that I have ever published. It will work well as a companion to my new edition of Sense and Goodness without God (which will be re-titled A Better World without God to distinguish it), and I hope to have that available by end of this year or early next.

But From Ontology to Morality is primarily a companion volume to Hitler Homer Bible Christ—one with all my peer reviewed papers in philosophy; the other, history—and they are designed to look similar and thus fit together on a bookshelf. So if you want them both in hardback, you can get a start now by getting HHBC that way, in anticipation of getting FOM that way!
