During the last decade, the noticeably deteriorating position of immovable cultural assets in particular in Czech society, reflected in repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to draft a new “cultural heritage” law, reveals the loss or absence of a general awareness of clearly and convincingly formulated theoretical foundations for the preservation of cultural heritage. Hence, the dismal situation in the Czech Republic led to meetings in 2016 and 2017 at the Czech Technical University in cooperation with the Institute of Art History of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic. A number of discussion topics and consolidated papers were heard. Some went beyond the currently crucial issues relating to everyday institutionalized monument care towards reflections on the basic foundations of the modern civilized relationship not only to immovable objects of historical value, but also to the landscape and the environment in general. Seven selected articles by experts representing a number of disciplines in the humanities and natural sciences are contained in the book presented to the public in an attempt to trigger the much needed sensitive yet well-founded societal debate on this urgent issue.
