This is a little belated, but the paperbacks of all the English-language editions of Humanly Possible came out in March 2024. I love both the UK and US/Canada editions of the paperback cover, and the latter has changed from the hardback, so here it is. For more info on the book and latest editions, see here.

De Humanisten, the Dutch edition of Humanly Possible is now available! And there will be some events in the Netherlands to celebrate this in October: a lecture for the Humanistisch Verbond in Arnhem on the 28th, and a discussion at Amsterdam’s Brainwash Festival on 29th. Do come along if you are in those parts of the world!

I’m delighted to say that the German translation of Humanly Possible is now out – joining the Italian translation, which appeared some months ago. Wie man Mensch wird is available from C.H. Beck, and Umanamente possibile from Rizzoli. The Dutch translation is coming soon too, followed by more.
