The philosophy of Solaris and some counter-arguments:
To be affected by the eternal human values of love and death you do not need to understand the reason behind them...you are only attracted towards love and death because they are a mystery...and once the mystery is lost you will no more be affected by it...this is the philosophy of Stanislaw Lem's Solaris...however, here comes the paradox...the very essence of a 'mystery' is that it demands an answer to solve the mystery...thus this 'mystery' of love and death demands asking questions to find an answer behind their very existence...here comes the role of science...science tries to answer these questions behind their existence...it tries to 'solve' the mystery and thus 'preserves' the essence of the mystery and thus ultimately preserves the essence of love in this paradoxical feedback loop.
