The first part contains an analysis and interpretation of one of his early works, The Dialogues. The author tries to show how Lem used the terminology of cybernetics to create a project of sociology and anthropology. The second part examines Lem's essay Summa technologiae, which is considered as the project of human autoevolution. The term «autoevolution» is a neologism for the concept of humans taking control over their own biological evolution and form in order to improve the conditions of their being. In this interpretation, Summa is an example of a liberal utopia, based on the assumption that all human problems can be resolved by science. Various social theories, which can be linked to the project of autoevolution, are presented in the final part. 410 0$aModernity in Question Series 606 $aPhilosophy$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary theory$2bicssc 606 $aLiterary studies: general$2bicssc 606 $aGender studies, gender groups$2bicssc 610 $aAnimal 610 $aautoevolution 610 $acybernetics 610 $aKowalska 610 $aLem?s 610 $aliterary studies 610 $aMachine 610 $aMajewski 610 $aMalgorzata 610 $aPawe? 610 $aposthumanism 610 $aqueer studies 610 $aStanis?aw 610 $aTechnological 610 $atranshumanism 610 $aUtopia 615 7$aPhilosophy 615 7$aLiterary theory 615 7$aLiterary studies: general 615 7$aGender studies, gender groups 700 $aMajewski$b Pawel$4auth$01296949 702 $aKowalska$b Malgorzata$4edt 702 $aMajewski$b Pawe?$4aut 801 0$bPH02 801 1$bPH02 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427723003321 996 $aBetween an Animal and a Machine$93024317 997 $aUNINA
