We all have a stake in the past and in its tangible preservation,
and we trust professionals to preserve our cultural heritage for
the future. However, restoration in all its forms is entangled in
many contemporary theoretical debates and problems. This book is
the first concerted effort to examine together the linked
philosophies of the different arts of preserving and uncovering the
past: the restoration of buildings, conservation of works of art,
and editing of literary works to retrieve their original or
intended texts. By investigating a series of recent crises in each
of these areas, Securing the Past shows how their underlying
justifications relate closely to one another. Paul Eggert shows how
they have been philosophically undermined by postmodern theories
and charts another, richer way forward to a new future for the
past.
