Reconstruction and redefinition of classical concepts is one of the main features of post-structuralist thinking. French philosopher Gilles Deleuze has also toke part to this redefinition of classical concepts. One of the concepts Deleuze redefines and rebuilds in his thinking is the concept of state. Deleuze's method for redefining concepts, including the concept of state, was to embed them in a new ontological framework. By using a different ontology, Deleuze rebuilds different concepts. In this sense, Deleuze has put different concepts in the form of a single ontology by creating a philosophical system and using a unified and systematic approach. The main feature of this ontology is its reliance on the relationship between actual and virtual. For this purpose, in this paper, the author shows how the state theory rebuilt by Deleuze uses his theory of movement in terms of similar ontological structure. This same ontological structure is the relation between actual and virtual. Accordingly, the state like movement will be analyzed at three different levels: the level of points and place-time, the level of intrinsic motion and internal intercourse, the level of communication with the virtual. The significance of this redefinition for such an ontological structure is that the dominant institutional and static approach in the political analysis is radically transformed.
