Who are some thinkers that give a response to modernity that is not reactionary but rather try to rekindle our sense of wonder and give us a direction/strategy that leads us toward something entirely new?

Post-WWII Evola was a full on non-active (in the Taoist sense) accelerationist (let the Kali Yuga play itself out). Spiritually he embraced Tantra and the Left Hand path as the only efficient means in the Kali Yuga, as the traditional Vedic teachings and Right Hand paths no longer were effective.

Not that guy, but I would recommend you read both Richard Rorty's, and Martin Jay's reviews of Legitimacy of the Modern Age if you want a sense of Blumenberg's project. I don't think they're paywalled.

Eric Voegelin and Ivan Illich are both worth a look.

Voegelin is so much more than Buckley and Co's tedious invocations of him. Illich isn't just a guy who hates school, and definitely isn't pining for the middle ages as midwits would have you believe.
