Stanisława Lema wizja człowieka przyszłości
Stanisław Lem’s vision of the future human

Summary/Abstract: In his works, Stanisław Lem not simply conveys his visions of technological changes of future civilizations – his central focus is on the question of man in the near and distant future. In addition to his anthropological explorations of changes in humanity, Lem adopts both axiological and socio-logical approaches to exploring questions regarding evil in human nature, the means of eliminating it, and the functioning of future societies. Alienation to first contact is another recurring theme in Lem; it can be seen in the scenes depicting contact with other civilizations. In Lem, alien species constitute a specific “anthropological mirror”, which is an interesting point of view in the observation of humanity.
