Abstract

Philosophical discussion and ethical approach have been crucial aspects in the rational decision-making of heritage conservation. This study analyses why and how they play an important role in determining the quality of conservation practice. It highlights the key concepts of conservation philosophy and ethics, as well as their relationship, in order to establish a constructive platform through which researchers may understand the role and importance of conservation philosophy and ethics. In conclusion, this study provides a set of recommendation for the government, academic experts, and conservators which will allow them to become actively involved in improving the quality of philosophical and ethical knowledge in the field of conservation.

보존가가 문화재를 보존하기 위한 철학적 담론을 이해하고 보존에 대한 윤리적 태도를 갖추고 보존원칙을 실천하는 것은 문화재의 질적 수준을 결정하는 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 지금까지 이에 대한 연구는 비교적 부족하였으며, 그로 인하여 문화재 보존에 있어서 지속적으로 철학의 부재나 원칙의 부재가 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이에 대한 해결방안을 제시하기 위해서는 보존철학과 보존윤리에 대한 중요성과 필요성을 학술적으로 먼저 정립하는 과정이 필요하다. 본고에서는 보존철학과 보존윤리의 개념을 서술하고, 이들 간의 상관관계, 그리고 문화재 보존의 주체인 정부-학계-전문가가 해결해나가야 할 과제를 제시하였다.
