ABSTRACT:
Sartre’s description of violence from his often-neglected Notebooks for an Ethics can be analysed from a psychological point of view in relationship with other negative “passions” like hatred, fury, pain and sufferance. Literary characters such as Seneca’s Medea or Anouilh’s Antigone seem to embody this fundamental characteristic of violence: the alliance with an ontological striving for destruction. In this paper we provide an interpretation of the Sartrean portrait of the violent man, analysing its connections with his existential doctrine from Being and Nothingness, and its affinity with modern nihilism (Nietzsche and Cioran) and Gnostic dualism (Catharism and Manicheanism).
Keywords: destruction, freedom, transcendence, facticity, Gnosticism, nihilism, existentialism
