Summary/Abstract: The author of the article argues the thesis, which has been widely accepted in the research tradition, on mystical irrationality of Mickiewicz’s actions in the area of politics. Analysing the matter from this point of view, the author investigates Mickiewicz’s activity in the period of the Revolutions of 1848, trying to reconstruct poet’s concepts in terms of strategy and here and now tactics. The author of the study proves that the idealism and religion factors, visible in Mickiewicz’s political reasoning and actions, were at the same time well balanced by other equally important ideas and assumptions which Mickiewicz regarded as rational and which took into account the reality and mechanisms that governed the world of politics.
