Summary:	2012 GAP/ontos-Award for furthering scientific research in the field of analytical ontology and metaphysics. As philosophers are keen to say, there is a possible world where Socrates is a carpenter. Plausibly, truths about what might or could not be the case are not basic but grounded in more fundamental features of reality. Steinberg develops this insight into a novel account of the supervenience structure of the modal realm.
