Richard Carrier is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Richard Carrier as American historian and philosopher.
Richard Carrier was born at Ontario in 1969. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at University of California, Berkeley and Columbia University.
Contemporary philosophy is professionalised and specialised, conducted largely in journals and seminars.
The recorded fields of work are naturalism and christ myth theory.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from United States matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Richard Carrier is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
