Abstract: The present research is devoted to studying the phenomenon of sadism from the point of view of philosophical anthropology based on works written by Marquis de Sade and Jean-Paul Sartre. The subject of the research is one of the key archetypes of sadistic culture represented in the image of sexually abusing father. The main purpose of the research is to analyze the internal structure of this sadistic image and typical representations of this mage in interpersonal communication, sexual practices and cognitive strategies. The additional purpose of the research is to define the internal relationship between philosophical and artistic worldviews of Sartre and de Sade. The research is based on the method of deductive regression from the concept of violance as it is to the analysis of a particular sadistic image of sexually abusing fathers in Sartre's and de Sade's works through viewing the phenomenon of sadism as the form of violence typical mostly for humans. The analysis involves the image of Achille-Clephas from Satre's biographical novel 'The Family Idiot', on the one hand, and the image of a surgeon Rodin from de Sade's novel 'Justine, or Misfortunes of the Virtue'. In the course of his research Gasilin has conducted a comparative analysis of both representations of the sadistic image of sexually abusing father in terms of the worldviews and writing strategies of the aforesaid authors. The main results of the research are the following: 1) the author has discovered the system unity between the sadistic method of interpersonal communication and analytical cognitive strategy developed in the science of the Modern Period; 2) he has also described the internal connection between the image of sexually abusing father and the concept of human mind as Nothing parasitic on continuous Existence; 3) and he has discovered a particular cultural tradition that is based on the negative interpretation of consciousness - so-called neurotic literature.
