Abstract
This article examines political culture in post-communist Poland. It d iscusses recent pronouncements by the Prime Minister Olszewski and the communique of Catholic Bishops, to begin to distinguish the shape of a new political discourse. Poland has become a political laboratory bu t as yet the debate has simply replayed the cliches of conservative po litical philosophy on the one hand and nihilism on the other.
