Abstract

The article deals with the interpretation of the virtual concept in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Ontological findings of Deleuze is one of the most topical trends of modern philosophy. The purpose of the given article is to study the directions of virtuality conceptualization in Deleuze’s philosophy. In a number of modern post-Deleuzian philosophical conceptions the virtual concept is often associated with the concept of actual (A. Toscano, R. Piercey, S. Zizek). The virtual in the philosophy of Deleuze is an extension of the ontological turn in the philosophy of the 20^th century and is one of the most important tendencies of actual thinking.
