Populism seen from an ontological democratic perspective (From radical democracy to ontological democracy as a condition of possibility)

The present work is an investigation that tries to put in relation Martin Heidegger's existential phenomenology, as a result of the hermeneutics of factuality and ontological difference, in his work Being and Time, and some basic concepts of the theory on populism developed by Ernesto Laclau in his work The Populist Reason. In order to do so, we will take into account a common nexus: the antiessentialist perspective of both, as well as the implicit realism they share insofar as they are based, more Aristotelian, on the how and not on the what.
