The mainstream postmodernism has led western mind to a kind of disillusionment and a consequent disenchantment with the existential human yearnings for a historical anchoring without which humanity can neither sustain nor spiritually grow. This article is essentially focused on the trace of the forgotten religious alternatives to empiricist idealist modernity in the West. It is significant to note that these alternatives emerged in the time of great wars prior to the secular postmodernity. However, main stream western intelligentsia never bothered to take them into consideration. Present study tries to revive these religious responses to modernity with a clear view to claim the space yet denied to them in postmodern western academia.
