This article critically analyzes the rudimentary features of the religious philosophy of the west and the way it affects the human history and the society. The study aims to investigate the foundations of the western philosophy and the literature and how it differs from that of the East. It investigates that the problems of the Western writers and critics do not align with our contemporary issues. It finds that the western philosophy of religion is reflexive, restless, ambivalent, and it delights in experience and rebellion, the East seeks tranquility and stability to such an extent that it interprets every experience as rebellion. Comparing the both sides, it finds that East is traditionalist, while West is revolutionary. Moreover, the study finds that the modern Western literature is of Romani origin and it can also be called Normanism, because of its intermittent, individual and personal insistence, directness in the language of art and recognition of semi-transparent communication, tragic intensity in self-expression, and subject matter. It describes the concept of contemporary western philosophy of religion which revolves around the concept of enlightenment. The study concludes that the fact is that religion is the beliefs of common people and philosophy is the view of certain people.
