The horror of the story is amplified by its unsettling philosophical underpinnings. Minski is not just a brute; he has a dark, corrupted philosophical system that makes his actions terrifyingly rational. Sade uses the ogre to express a core belief: that the ultimate law of nature is not cooperation or love, but a constant, violent struggle of all against all. In this view, the "weak" are meant to be dominated by the "strong," and the strongest man is the one who is willing to flout all taboos—religion, morality, the law—to achieve his desires.

Minski, whose real name remains unknown, is a figure shrouded in mystery. The few available details about his life are often disputed, and the accuracy of these claims is questionable. According to various online sources, Minski was allegedly a serial killer and cannibal who operated in the shadows, preying on unsuspecting victims.
