Abstract
The article formulates arguments for the independent significance of the problem of understanding in contemporary philosophy of science. Obviously, it is impossible to devel-op a serious concept of understanding without examining the indicators of understanding used by scientists. Having studied publications in the field of artificial intelligence, natural science and philosophy of science, the author describes the criteria of understanding used by researchers in these fields of knowledge. The main result is a preliminary classification of the criteria of understanding in view of their degrees of universality and the degrees of understanding of the problems being studied, which researchers get in the course of thinking about and solving these problems when using formal methods.
