Characteristic views of the Nile Sora think in terms of rationalism, but its functional rationalism burdened by a negative trend: it did not serve a means to truth, but a way of elevation of faith. Philosophizing - is a kind of hygiene of the mind, spiritual prevention, which allows to free the mind from sensations, to protect him from the mundane, the created. (Zamaleev п?.пє. Course history of Russian philosophy. M., 1995. S. 24).

Teaching in the statute monastic lives of the Nile Sora the first time in Russian social and philosophical ideas presented and developed, albeit on the basis of the mystical, the idea of moral self-identity. It has a special chapter on the characteristics of human passions that destroy his immortal soul. This - gluttony, lechery, avarice, anger, sadness, despondency, ambition, pride. But the main sin Neil says 'acquiring', ie. appropriation works of the labor of others. Objecting to the advocates of the monastery's property as 'alms for Christ's sake', Neal notes that this commandment is cunningly devised by those who hide their wealth. True charity is the moral support of neighbors, in helping to take the floor in time of need, to be comforted in his grief. (Novikova LI, Sizemskaya I.N. Russian philosophy of history. M., 1997. S. 30).
