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 sociological 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.
