Abstract

Introduction. The author analyzes the problem of time in Aristotle’s metaphysical ontology through the prism of G. Deleuze’s simulacrum concept. The purpose of this paper is to search for new interpretive possibilities for building a modern philosophical time theory. Methods. The methodological basis of the study is (G. Deleuze’s simulacrum idea) the basic principles of simulacrum building, which are applied to Aristo- tle’s theory of time. Scientific novelty of the study. The study focuses on the relationship of time and difference, dif- ference and meaning. The author substantiates the thesis about the simulative nature of time in Aristotle’s ontological system. On the basis of the relationship, the author proposes and reveals the idea of synchrony, which could combine these two phenomena into a single system of relations, with- out reducing one to the other and without falling into a vicious circle. Results. On the basis of the analysis, it was re- vealed that time in Aristotle’s concept has the fea- tures of a simulacrum. The analysis makes it pos- sible to define synchrony as a temporal concept. Conclusions. The proposed method makes it pos- sible to carry out similar types of analysis in other metaphysical systems in order to determine the possibility of identifying a concept.
