Unknowns and Evolutions:the Speculation of LEM's Science Fictional Imagination
Influenced by the tradition of enlightenment and scientific revolution,Stanislaw Lem values the relationship between imagination and cognition.The transcendental expressions and applicable possibilities of mathematics become Lem's response to Kantian transcendental philosophy.The"Unitas Oppositorum"of Borges'fictional narrative inspires Lem's ontological interpretations of science fiction.The transcendence of science fictional imagination can reconstruct the existence of universe and life,in forms of"possible worlds",meanwhile conduct new explorations on"meta-problems"of traditional literary narratives.Lem's theory of evolution attaches great importance to the configuration of"homeostasis"composed of"inorganic-organic".Homeostasis connecting human and technology can provide optimized moral standards and ethical relationships to promote the technological evolution.Science fictional creations thus become speculative methods for self-organizing and self-constructing systems.Through"thought experiments",one can analyze the contingency,the probability and the inevitability in the co-evolution of human and technology.
