Abstract
The article considers the concept of "normal science" by T. Kuhn in the context of S. Fuller's social epistemology. We study political, philosophical, and religious connotations of the concept, which originally belongs to the history of science. The paper shows that the analysis of Kuhn's main work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" actually confirms P. Feyerabend's judgement that it is an ideology behind the mask of history.
