Summary/Abstract: The present article approaches the ideational texture of the volume focused on Instituting Thought. Three Paradigms of Political Ontology (2021), by the Italian philosopher Roberto Esposito. The interest (here) denotes, on the one hand, the essential reading of R. Esposito's comments on three paradigms of political ontology – destitute (Heidegger) – constitute (Deleuze) – institutive (Lefort and, implicitly, Esposito), by offering a contextualized debate on the perspectives, on the updates and transgressions of political ontology. From a punctual point of view, the reference is made to post-foundational political ontology (Oliver Marchart, 2007), to the landmarks of neo-ontology (Carsten Strathausen, 2009 – here, with a debate converted into dialogue – Roberto Esposito on C. Strathausen and Bruno Bosteels on R. Esposito), as well as on radical democracy, the latter theoretically (re)articulated in the volume coordinated by Lars Tønder and Lasse Thomassen (2005); on the other hand, it is reaffirmed that everything is political ontology! – a statement that we will deduce – via R. Esposito – from the connection operated between political action and the hierarchies of political philosophies, in general, through the intensive act of awareness of the named reality.
