Summary/Abstract: The problem of the history of ideas (unrestricted progress) in the Solaris written by Stanislaw Lem and in most known film adaptations directed by Andrei Tarkovsky (1972) and Steven Soderbergh (2002). Utopia as a camouflage of dystopia. Imperfection of human nature and metaphysical optimism. Utopian thinking in trans- and post-humanism. Possibility (?) of total communication (Lem’s novel) and the image of impenetrable mystery (Tarkovsky’s movie). Inevitability of defeat (Lem) and the image of salvation (Soderbergh).
