ABSTRACT
There are two distinct uses of the word ‘culture’, failure to distinguish which leads to considerable confusion. Generally when one refers to various cultures within a society, and often even when one refers to the culture of a society, one is using the word as an anthropologist or sociologist would. This is quite distinct from use of the word to refer to works of art or works of a high aesthetic standard. This latter sense is what the poet T.S. Eliot referred to more specifically as ‘high culture’, and in what follows I will refer to it as Culture with a capital ‘C’ in order to keep the distinction clear.
