Niezmienniki pola racjonalności na przykładzie eksperymentów myślowych Stanisława Lema

Among philosophical motifs brought up by Abp Józef Życiński (1948-2011), a crucial issue is the relation between the world of concretum, its psychological perception by people and the field of rationality, also called the field of the potential or the rational structure of the universe (by the co-author of ‘Universe and Philosophy’). Concrete objects seem to be more real than all sorts of theoretical objects of science, such as cosmological constants. Our mind, which was formed by the evolution, is responsible for that state of affairs. That mind was created in order to enable us survival, not in order to accurately learn the world. When closely examining relations between the three above mentioned spheres, there clearly appears an unusual role of abstract bonds of ontological structure of the world. In the arcticle, I am attempting to look at Życiński’s analysis from the angle of mental experiments presented by Stanislaw Lem, in which people meet earlier unknown forms of life (eg. solarian ocean) and enter interactions with them.
