Summary/Abstract: The question of the role of the father has been at the core of human culture since ancient times. However, in Western culture and civilization, we have witnessed a historical trend of neglecting and underestimating the figure of the father. The disappearance of his primitive role as the person who sets and maintains boundaries is at the root of many of the modern problems of children, arising from the dilution of the restrictive function of upbringing. The purpose of this publication is to outline the key role of the figure and functions of the father. Attention is paid to fatherhood as an object of interpretation from the point of view of philosophy, ethics, pedagogy, psychology, and psychoanalysis.
