 At a basic level, the concept of “cultural property” captures the idea that something (an artifact, artwork, style, place, etc.) can be the property of a cultural group (Appiah 2006: 118; Thompson 2003: 252), and thus entail some set of collective rights concerning ownership, access, and use, even if title to the property is held by a particular individual. The concept thus raises a number of difficult philosophical questions concerning cultural groups, the nature of property, and the relation between them.
