Jak człowiek stworzył człowieka. Geneza zjawiska sztucznych ludzi w kulturze
How a man created man. The origins of the cultural phenomenon of artificial people

Summary/Abstract: Artificial people are present in every culture and in every period. Even without further analysis it can be seen that not only in fairy tales, my­thology and science­ fiction movies, we find in their presence. This theme is as old as literature. It is at the same time very complex and complicated. It contains the hidden essence of humanity – how artificial people are portrayed, is really a measure of empathy, compassion, respect for the other per­son or tolerance. Whether artificial people are monsters or victims, always ends the same way – burned alive by angry mob, left to oblivion at the bottom of the sea or shot in the street, ar­tificial people are tragic figures. This work tries to answer the question, what is the essence of the phenomenon, what are the roots and what is related to the fact that artificial people are brought to life, regardless of the historical pe­riod or geographical area in which the author lives. It helps to understand the phenomenon, which is the need for people to create their ar­tificial duplicates, and to answer the question, what are the associated fears and concerns and fascinations.
