It is with sadness that the Canadian Philosophical Association shares the news that Frank Cunningham, professor emeritus of philosophy and political science, passed away in Vancouver on February 4, 2022. A past president of the CPA (1997), Cunningham retired from the University of Toronto in 2009 after a career that spanned four decades. More recently, he was affiliated with the Urban Studies program at Simon Fraser University. His latest book, Ideas in Context: Essays in Social & Political Theory, was published in 2020. Cunningham was also instrumental in bringing philosophy to high schools in Ontario. He is remembered by his colleagues as an exceptional philosopher, an unfailingly generous mentor, and a dear friend.
The Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto has published an in memoriam, with a longer tribute to come. The Daily Nous also published an in memoriam, and an obituary appeared in The Globe and Mail.
