Summary/Abstract: The author reviews Piotr Bogalecki’s book which attempts to reinterpret Polish poetry after 1968 in the light of the postsecular turn. He discusses Bogalecki’s work within the broad philosophical context in order to place Bogalecki’s ideas among other quasi-religious and crypto-theological projects – especially those of Agata Bielik-Robson. The author underlines novelty of Bogalecki’s interpretations, his erudition and fundamental faithfulness toward literature and poetry which leads to depoliticization of postsecular thought making it innocuous mean of intervention.
