In the article the phenomenon of virtual personality is considered. On the basis of methodological approaches of postmodernism, symbolic interactionism and the studies of domestic philosophy, an attempt is undertaken to consider the phenomenon of virtual personality as a new image of the information civilization. The carried-out analysis leads the author to the conclusion about the necessity of social control over the work in the Internet, on one hand, and of the socio-philosophical analysis of the phenomenon of virtual personality, on the other. The article is connected with consideration of the problems of existence of virtual personality. Virtual personality is understood as my vision of myself as somebody else.
