Studies of the global dynamics of combined homogenization and differentiation processes have shed new light on the ways in which the totalization and the de-totalization of knowledge and social representation operate. In this commentary, the question of whether cultural diversity is a necessary ingredient with which to enrich the development of the knowledge society is addressed. Here, this question will be answered in the affirmative and that the consequences of recognizing the epistemic importance of cultural diversity require that we conceive of society in a multi-focal way with relative decentralization. It also implies that we look for compatibility between scientific knowledge and the knowledge that corresponds to other orders. In this way, the future of knowledge and power correlates with the dilemmas of global negotiations of interculturality.
