Abstract. The article makes Nil Sorsky’s theological-philosophical method explicit. The author comes to the conclusion that it was based on the principles of medieval hermeneutics and focused on working with written sources. The main aspect of Nil Sorsky’s method is the dialogue of human beings with the centuries-old monastic tradition, which interprets the former. Its purpose is to overcome existential fear caused by the expectations of the end of the world and the spread of various forms of social violence in late medieval society.
