Biography
Frank Cunningham is a lecturer in the philosophy department at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Democratic Theory and Socialism(1987) and The Real World of Democracy (1994)
'[This] book is notably engaging and readable, and will be as valuable to those who are new to debates in democratic theory as to those who have had an introduction into some of these debates and are looking for a guide to the rest. In terms of the quality, breadth, and accessibility of the discussion, Theories of Democracy is first rate.' Patrick Hayden, Philosophy in Review
'This work is an excellent introduction to diverse trends in contemporary democratic theory, and is distinctive not only for its clear and concise presentation of major theories, but also for its critical and analytic approach to the underlying issues.One of the author's strengths -- something quite rare for a philosopher -- is to have a firm grounding in political theory as that field is understood by political scientists.' John Clark, Capitalism Nature Socialism
