The changing nature of the research object in the social sciences and humanities requires the use of certain methods and approaches in field research. Hermeneutics, which has a long history, has grown to the level of interdisciplinary research methodology with changes in human consciousness and worldview.

It also describes the content of the concept of hermeneutics, the features of its manifestation, areas of application, research on the interpretation of religious, philological, artistic, historical, legal sources. The results of the study are based on the development of analytical, comparative, figurative, systematic, critical thinking skills in the subjects of the educational process as an approach, method of thinking, research method of hermeneutics.
