During the 19th century and the beginning of 20th, some classical authors of contemporary political theory wondered if the modern world was going to be exempt from magic and religious ways such the bourgeois revolutions were supposed to get. This paper about «Revolution and Secularization» deals with that kind of perplexity and assumes the plurisecular survival of these irrational aspects beyond every scientific revolution and materialist products of Enlightenment. Neither specialized nor mechanized world implied the extinction of mystery or magical and inexplicable phenomena, as Max Weber, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer had suggested. In recent years, another review of modern assumptions was carried out by some classic authors who rethought the modern revolution. Not only the conservative work of Carl Schmitt, or reactionary thinking of Joseph de Maistre and Louis-Ambroise de Bonald, but also those authors which support Modernity, as Hans Blumenberg or Jacob Taubes, have raised the continuity or break of Modernity from Old Regime.
