-Drawing on German philosophical discourse with which he became engaged while working on his doctorate in Germany before World War I, he sought to articulate Orthodox Christian traditions of personhood, epistemology, and cosmology in the discourses of modern Western philosophy. His ''History of Russian Philosophy'' (1952) is an intellectual history of nineteenth- and early-to-mid-twentieth-century Russian philosophy. It includes a brief but in-depth survey of the philosophical works of Fr. Florensky and Fr. [[Sergius Bulgakov]], examining in particular how the latter's sophic philosophy both drew on Orthodox traditions and came in part to obscure their apophatic ontological outlook. It also includes a summary of his own work and that of his son, Vladimir Lossy, and contrasts Soviet dialectical materialism with traditions of Russian philosophy rooted in Christianity.

-Prof. Lossky's legacy includes the work of his son Vladimir Lossky, a prominent modern Orthodox theological writer, whose background in philosophy and Orthodoxy he helped to shape. His most famous university student, while he was still teaching in St. Petersburg after the Revolution, was the writer and atheist-libertarian philosopher Ayn Rand, who also became an emigré settling in America.

(Despite whatever effect his lectures had on an undergraduate Rand, and the classification of his philosophy as reflecting a metaphysical libertarianism, his later political views after his rejection of Marxism and atheism have been described as Fabian Socialist.)
