Inaugural “Alvin Plantinga Prize” from APA goes to Princeton’s Lara Buchak

From the APA announcement:

The American Philosophical Association (APA) is pleased to announce that the inaugural Alvin Plantinga Prize in the amount of $10,000 has been awarded to Lara Buchak (Princeton University) for her essay, “Faith and Traditions.”

The APA has also awarded two honorable mentions in the amount of $5,000 each to Charity Anderson (Baylor University) for “Divine Hiddenness: An Evidential Argument” and to Aaron Segal (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) for “Dependence, Transcendence, and Creaturely Freedom: On the Incompatibility of Three Theistic Doctrines.”

The Alvin Plantinga Prize is funded through the generosity of the Bossenbroek Family Foundation. This prize recognizes original essays that engage philosophical issues about or in substantial ways related to theism. Submissions were assessed according to canons of excellence for which Alvin Plantinga is eminent: clarity, rigor, and originality.
