Majewski, Pawel auth Between an Animal and a Machine Stanisław Lem's Technological Utopia Malgorzata Kowalska, Paweł Majewski 1st, New ed. Frankfurt a.M. PH02 2018 1 online resource (246 p.) , EPDF text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Modernity in Question 10 Open access Unrestricted online access star English The subject of this book is the philosophy of Stanisław Lem. 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. Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Paweł Majewski is Associate Professor at the Institute of Polish Culture at the University of Warsaw. His main areas of research are: influence of writing on the intellectual and cognitive processes in the human mind; history of communication; bias of alphabetic writing as a vehicle of cultural communication.
