The paper describes Thomas Kuhn's normal science activities in the context of the hermeneutical problems elaborated primarily in H.-G. Gadamer's publications. We show that the normal science interprets both the reality and other scientific worldviews in compliance with Gadamer's ideas of understanding. If one spreads Gadamer's ideas over the philosophy of science, it can be possible to find the ways out of the crisis that concern the epistemological problem of the truth.
