  Edwards suggests that pluralists can answer the challenge that mixed conjunctions pose by reading the stated biconditional as having an order of determination: \(p \wedge q\) is true\(_k\) in virtue of \(p\)’s being true\(_i\) and \(q\)’s being true\(_j\), but not vice-versa. This, he maintains, explains what kind of truth a conjunction \(p \wedge q\) has when its conjuncts are true in different ways; for the conjunction is true\(_k\) in virtue of having conjuncts that are both true, where it is inessential whether the conjuncts are true in the same way. Truth\(_k\) is a further way of being true that depends on the conjuncts being true in some way without reducing to either of them. The property true\(_k\) is thus not a generic or universal truth property that applies to the conjuncts as well as the conjunction.
