More than that: Lem habitually explored higher SF concepts beyond mere technological issues. His Solaris explored the human psyche and the definitions of thought and memory... it remains one of my favorite novels.

Few other SF authors have touched on similar subjects as well (Philip K. Dick was another good author for the psychological aspects of SF concepts). It's a subject that is difficult to handle, and harder to find. It's one that I'd love to take a crack at, myself, but haven't found the proper angle yet.
