Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyze scientific research on the problems of the virtual and to find out their essential features. Methodology. The choice of research methods is due to the purpose of the article and the subject of the study, in particular, the system approach to the processing of works on virtualization of culture has been applied. Scientific Novelty. The main directions of research on the issue of virtualization are highlighted, whose representatives characterize the specificity of the collision of scientific and technological progress with culture. Conclusions. There are three main directions in which the most essential theoretical potential for studying the phenomenon of virtuality is revealed: the first direction is represented by the supporters of the theory of virtual reality, virtualization, etc., emphasize the modernity of the phenomenon of virtuality and its technogenic essence; the second is the phenomenology of the social world; the third is a series of modern socio-philosophical concepts in which the idea that virtuality is an immanent culture or a culture of immanent virtuality is traced in a manifest or latent way, and in this sense it cannot be counterposed to reality. According to the results of the studies examined, culture begins to lose more and more lines of linearity and predictability of development, and modern socio-cultural reality is increasingly identified with virtuality.
