The article is devoted to the socio-philosophical concept of image as an ideal construct and the converted form of an object of social interaction that exists and functions in the public consciousness. It is proved that image can be interpreted from the point of social philosophy as an objective-subjective social phenomenon, as an objectified social ideal form. The article also proves that image undergoes various stages of the simulation, the final product of which is a simulacrum.
