Abstract
The research is devoted to the philosophical analysis of virtual reality as a phenomenon at the intersection of ontology, philosophy of consciousness and philosophy of language. The relevance of the work is conditioned by the increasing role of virtual reality in social and cognitive spheres, as well as the need to critically analyses its influence on the perception of reality. The aim of the study is to identify the conceptual foundations of virtuality using philosophical, linguistic and semiotic approaches. The methodology is based on interdisciplinary analysis, including philosophical concepts of reality, linguistic theory of mental spaces, and social epistemology approaches. The main results consist in the formation of the concept of virtual reality as a dynamic ontological structure interacting with consciousness and language. The study shows that virtuality is not an exclusively technological phenomenon, but is a philosophical category that touches upon fundamental issues of perception and interpretation of reality. The specificity of the work lies in the integration of philosophical, linguistic and semiotic analyses of virtuality, which allows us to propose a new approach to its interpretation within the framework of modern philosophical discourse.
