Summary/Abstract: The article presents an extrapolation of the criticism of messianism made by Norwid in the writings of Polish philosopher Józef Tischner. Cyprian Norwid strongly opposed the religiosity based on the dominance of the imagination. He saw the threat in Polish messianism. He himself was in favor of the vision of religion and its goals in optics corresponding to the modern era. Józef Tischner analyzed the Polish political transformations in the key of messianic threats stemming mainly from religious environments of the intelligentsia. The Polish Philosopher also pointed out ways to overcome the existing threats. He remained in this operation under the influence of Cyprian Norwid. The article, therefore, presents the process of updating the religious-political thought of the Norwid at the turn of the 20th century.
