Abstract

Problems of virtualization and virtual processes of modern society were considered by the author in the article. Categories of virtual reality, virtualization has been explained. The analysis is based on the main ideas of scientists who studied this problem. It was noted that the need for analysis of virtualization is conditioned by an ever greater increase in virtualization processes in modern society. Modern processes of virtualization are so fast that they are practically non-predictive. Meanwhile, the subject field of social and philosophical studies of this problem is only beginning to emerge. Clarification of the virtualization study methodology is a necessity. The concept of virtualization of society within the framework of the socio-philosophical approach needs further elaboration. The impact of virtualization on social institutions, and on society has been analyzed by the author. The problems of personality transformation under the influence of virtue were considered. It is proved that in our time we can talk about formation – a virtual person. It is noted that the progress of virtualization is growing steadily, and it depends only on the person, how it will use this phenomenon for itself. The issue of virtualization of modern society remains relevant, because this process is constantly spreading.
