Abstract

This work explores the possible incompatibility between two ways of understanding contemporay ethico-political phenomena related to the conditions of the possibility of Radical Democracy in contemporary Latin America: Jürguen Habermas's ethics of discourse and Ernesto Laclau's notion of politics as a hegemonic construction in a (neo-)populist context. The aim of this exercise is to illustrate the possibility of said incompatibility through examining the case of the administration of Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa.
