Abstract
In this paper, I examine the relationship between culture and knowledge. Mo re particularly, I argue against the standpoint that there is an inevitable link between culture and knowledge. Central to the argument are insights a bout change, adaptation and communication. In addition, I consider whether knowledge can be thought of as being akin to a private possession, and the multicultural implications of different theories of knowledge. The paper is concluded with some thoughts on the differences between us.
