Democratic philosophy studies the principles underlying democracy, emphasizing political equality and freedom from domination. Influenced by thinkers like John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, it addresses the moral foundations of democracy, including the duties of citizens and representatives. The Philosophy of Democracy explores seven themes: defining democracy, its moral value, the authority and limits of democratic institutions, reasonable demands on citizens, equality in representation, social choice theory, and inclusivity in decision-making.
