<b>A philosophical and political exploration of the construction of popular identities </b><p>In this highly original and influential work, Ernesto Laclau focuses on the construction of popular identities and how “the people” emerge as a collective actor. Skilfully combining theoretical analysis with a myriad of empirical references from numerous historical and geographical contexts, he offers a critical reading of the existing literature on populism, demonstrating its dependency on the theorists of “mass psychology,” such as Taine and Freud. <i>On Populist Reason</i> is essential reading for all those interested in the question of political identities in the present day.</p>
