"New philosophy" in France is a social and philosophical phenomenon of 1970s, which features intense social and political activities and aspiration for a particular and continuous philosophical concept and ideology. "Social ontology" created by the new philosophers B.-H. Levy, A.Glucksmann, M. Clavel and others, has become an important step in the development of philosophy of power. It transforms power as a crucial political category into a notion of general outlook and "the new" consider it to be a metaphysical origin. This article examines main issues within this concept from the point of view of its theoretical sources and possible applications.
