Publisher's Synopsis
On the Ethics of Cultural Heritage Conservation is a collection of previously published papers, original texts based on lectures delivered by the author and several pieces written solely for this publication. Each one of them analyses one of the core notions that shape the traditional conservation discourse (minimal intervention, artist's intent, authenticity, etc.). These reflections aim at providing a deeper understanding of this fascinating activity, an understanding that may perhaps foster a more open, efficient and future-proof approach to cultural heritage conservation.
