Nedonsel advocated dialogue of philosophy and theology. In his philosophical and theological synthesis using knowledge from different areas - psychoanalysis, anthropology, philosophy of language, history, philosophy and phenomenology. In his doctoral dissertation Nedonsel pursued the idea that personality as such does not exist in the crowd and not in isolation, but in the dyad 'I - thou', which sold personal communication. Personality is never finished, completed, she always stays in the process of creating themselves through communication with others, engaging with them in the basic relationship, which contributes to its becoming a person, personification. Task identity - to open in a being, connecting all and grasp the opportunity to interact with all existing. In this sense, ontology, expression of which is intersubjectivity personalities, is at the basis of ethics Nedonselya. Unity of consciousness, spirits - a connection 'you' and 'I' - is the foundation and confirmation of God, which Nedonsel considers as the absolute creative person, you primarily as absolute being. The birth and formation of personality can be explained only on the basis of divine transcendence, rushing to which a person continually goes beyond the limits of their own and rises higher in the process of self -. But just as the genuine interaction of consciousness - a rare phenomenon, and union with God is grace and is constantly threatened, as it can be destroyed by natural obstacles, and various forms of spirituality and antiduhovnosti - evil.

The problem of evil in the philosophy Nedonselya paid special attention. Nedonsel believed that evil, the most brutal forms of which are not connected with nature and with the spirit - it is a reality, but it is not fatal and can be overcome. The problem of evil is solvable, . because time is not closed in itself, . in him there is always forever, . meaning, . that man can change the meaning of his past by repenting, . allowing him to transcend time and find hope for salvation, . build, in his new 'I',
. Ultimately, salvation lies in the faithfulness of love, mercy, all the more perfect knowledge of God and the harmonization of relations with other people. Liberty has meaning only through the love
