Author(s):
Abstract:
Modernism, despite the welfare provided for the Western man, failed to fulfill his spiritualrequests, the sole reason of which is the modern thought, s disregard for and even disbelief in man, s soul and his spiritual aspect. The nihilism crisisin the West, which roared and claimed victims, the conversion of the Western man into an object and commodity, the loss of purpose and meaning of life, and the lack of a value system made the Westerngreat thinkers to find a remedy for it. Finally, in the Modern era, man had to reconsider the intellectual foundations of Modernism and pay special attention to its shortcomings, and this turned into a prelude for the postmodern era. Reanalysis of tradition and its foundations by the Westernthinkers was to respond to their unmet needsin the modern life. They, considering the spiritual crisis in the West and the Western man, s needto human emotions and consideration of spirit, followed thepeople, s tendency towards spirituality and canceled the prevailing opinion of the Modern era, which regarded man as equal to body and acknowledged the spiritual dimension of man. Criticizeof Modernism and return to a kind of ethics, spirituality and human spiritual values are some of the theories, which thinkers such as «Michel Foucault», «Jürgen Habermas», and «Marx Horkheimer» held. Now, it, s nearly three decades that manynoble and serious Westernthinkers have noticed theproblem. Collapse of communism, the deadlock state of capitalist methods and various theories of management, and decline of colorful, deceptive philosophiespushed some of the Westernthinkers for a serious reflection, and all this was a beginning to return to spirituality.
