| Abstract / Summary: |
This article introduces the concept of monumental preservation, which
the author defines as the preservation of all cultural phenomena,
because from the smallest item to the greatest monument all things
emanate from and reflect culture. The imperative to preserve monuments
is the imperative to preserve our cultural heritage. Whether
there is a moral responsibility to preserve cultural heritage may be
considered from philosophical, political, and legal perspectives. |
