Summary/Abstract: This study recalls some contemporary approaches and the essence of culture – its understand-ing in order to read correctly the thought contained in John Paul II’s teaching regarding its under-standing, meaning and role. For this purpose, some opinions about it and historical references arepresented. Attempts were made to present the thought of John Paul II in relation to these refer-ences, and especially to the teaching of the Second Vatican Council and the magisterium of theChurch.
