Virtual Ontology: to the Question of New World Order

Abstract

The problem of space and time has a long history of philosophical discussions about the nature of these phenomena. However, the modern era of information and communication technologies opens up new aspects of this problem and the fundamental principles of the existence of these phenomena, allowing us to highlight the problem of virtual ontologies as one of the approaches to building a new vision of the structure of the modern world. The purpose of this article is to clarify the specific attributes of virtual space/time and study the projection of the transformations of society and culture under their influence. The rhetoric of the study is devoid of value judgments, so its results are useful both for theoretical research and for the practical implementation of verified principles in the content of modern socio-cultural practices.
