The Metaphysics of Truth
Douglas Edwards
Reviews and Awards
Winner of the 2019 Sanders Book Prize awarded by the American Philosophical Association
"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." -- The American Philosophical Association, in awarding the 2019 Sanders Book Prize
"The book covers substantial ground — including theories of truth, the ontology of properties, truthmaking, social ontology, among others — and is full of stimulating arguments. Philosophers of many stripes will find something of interest in Edwards' well-written and fascinating book" -- Aaron Griffith, Analysis Reviews
"boldly sets out a theory of truth in the grand old style" -- Mark Jago, Mind
"Edwards's book is essential reading for anyone in the thick of these debates." -- Steven Hales, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Edwards's writing is admirably clear and plain ... Edwards's presentation is thoroughly embedded in the contemporary discussion among analytic philosophers on the topic of truth, and the book will be important and valuable to that audience." -- R. T. Lee, CHOICE
