 As introduced in the previous two sections, one might think that the concept of cultural property places an emphasis on ownership where what is really required is stewardship. For instance, one might think that “cultural property does not really belong to anyone…that all of us have a duty towards cultural property because of its relative scarcity and profound significance” (Harding 1997: 760). This kind of view might be shared by those who aim to prioritize the preservation of cultural property (Warren 1989; Merryman 1994) or those who think we have special duties to cultural heritage grounded either in the virtues (James 2013) or an inter-generational social contract (Thompson 2000a; though stewardship should not necessarily be equated with preservation (Harding 1997: 771)).
