基列耶夫斯基認為，西方教會不經過東方教會的同意，任意改變信經，從而帶來唯理論的結果。這是他批判西方的基礎。基列耶夫斯基的思考，圍繞東正教和唯理論的對立這條軸心而展開。他尋求精神和思想的完整性，他批判西方在精神等方面的分裂，認為俄羅斯人追求的是內在和外在存在的完整性。西方的哲理思考方式和俄羅斯的哲理思考方式不應彼此否定，否則，它們的命運都是片面的。基列耶夫斯基認為，西方災難和精神疾病的源泉是唯理論。這是對西方片面的，在很多方面都不正確的理解。他實際上拍的是脫離了基督教的西方哲學。基列耶夫斯基提出的哲學“新原則”，是以精神的完整性為基礎的。基列耶夫斯基完全接受東正教，認為東正教的哲理思考方式定能替代西方的哲理思考方式，這是他的使命論。在基列耶夫斯基恢復完整性的希望中，具有烏托邦成分。基列耶夫斯基是基督教哲學邊緣的基督教思想家，提出了值得我們思考的方法論，指明了俄國基督教世界觀的發展道路，表達了俄羅斯精神的隱秘實質。
Ivan Kireyevsky thought that Western Church without the consent of the Eastern Church, deliberately changed the Creed, which caused to bring rationalism. This is the base of his criticism of the West. Kireyevsky's thinking is from the opposition between the Eastern Orthodox Church and rationalism. He sought spiritual and intellectual integrity. He criticized the West in the spirit of the division; he thought the Russians pursued the integrity of internal and external existence. The Western philosophizing and the Russian philosophizing should not negate each other; otherwise, their fate was one-sided. The Western disaster and mental illness were the result of the rationalism. This is one-sided and improper understanding of the West in many different aspects. He actually referred to Western philosophy separated from Christianity. The spirit of the integrity should be the foundation of ”new principles” of Philosophy. Kireyevsky fully accepted the ideology of the Orthodox culture; he thought the Orthodox philosophizing would be able to replace Western philosophizing. This is his Mission. There are Utopian elements in his hope of restore of the integrity. He is the Christian thinker at the edge of Christian Philosophy, he put forward reasonable methodology to specify the path of development the Russian Christian worldview, and he expressed the Russian spirit.
