Summary/Abstract: This review focuses on the essay by Andrzej Wasilewski Teoria literatury Stanisława Lema[Stanisław Lem’s Theory of Literature]. This work differs from other previously mentioned studies for several reasons. The author focuses on a specific aspect of Lem’s intellectual work, namely, on the theory of literature. This was a new issue that had not previously been given much thought when considering Lem’s works. However, despite how it was advertised, the essay is of a philosophical nature rather than about the theory of literature. Nevertheless, despite the misunderstandings and the hermetic style of the dissertation, this monograph was the first to offer a wider view on the issues of literature. In this sense, Wasilewski’s essay may play an important role in this field and make it easier for future researchers to comprehend the issue of understanding Lem’s essays.
