Abstract This paper deals with problematic understanding of legal texts. Hermeneutic approaches are reflected in various opinions regarding the understanding and interpretation of the text. The interpretation is presented in light of the research from both legal and philosophical sciences. The views of lawyers and philosophers of continental Europe as well as common law systems in relation to hermeneutics are analyzed. The actuality of the issue is due to the fact that the problem discussed in the jurisprudence is not yet solved. There is no uniform approach to the issue; the principles set out in action are not explicitly defined. There is no unified strategy. All this creates difficulties in the implementation of practical activities. In the presented work the establishing of principles is given special importance. Understanding the text as the main goal of Hermeneutics is set as the unity of the two processes. First of all, it is the correct understanding of the will expressed, and then the correctly perceived will be passed to whom this norm is directed to. These two processes should be harmoniously interconnected so that an interpretation can be achieved with the desired goal and the text will not add new vagueness. The article discusses subjective and objective theories of comprehension and their positive sides as well as their shortcomings. The focus is on the goals of Hermeneutics and the tasks that should be carried out by the text interpreter. Hermeneutic activity is presented as a synthetic connection of the three elements that are considered: the author of the text, the text itself, and the subjective subject. In conclusion, it is suggested that since the importance of the text in the jurisprudence is given special attention, the goal of interpretation must match the goals of the law. The objectives of the law are based on social aspirations and their will, and therefore the principles of interpretation should be determined based on the will of the public.
