In the award announcement, the APA states:

Edwards develops his own version of truth pluralism, making contributions along the way to discussions of differences in the role of predicates and the connection with ontological pluralism. The book is philosophically nuanced, rigorous and systematic in its treatment. It also stood out as interesting to a broad range of philosophical topics and discussions.

Honorable mentions for the prize went to Carrie Figdor, professor of philosophy at the University of Iowa, for her Pieces of Mind, and Susanna Schellenberg, professor of philosophy and cognitive science at Rutgers University, for her The Unity of Perception.
