Abstract

The article considers the problem of objectivity of results of geological research through the prism of the hermeneutic tradition. In particular, an attempt is made to reveal the role of geologist’s skills in geological knowledge. The attention is drawn to the need for reflection on unconscious procedures in the process of geological research which are related to skills, since they cause inconsistency of results of studying the same object obtained by different researchers dealing with the Earth.
