Résumé (en anglais)

John Warren in "Ethics and Aesthetics in Conservation" gets to the heart of the matter when he warns of the difficulties which lie in the temptation to pursue aesthetic objectives at the expense of integrity. Ethics involve responsible behaviour and a sense of responsibility in holding past creations in trust for future generations. One can have an ethical principle ameliorated by aesthetic considerations just as one can have an aesthetically driven conclusion taking an ethical overtone. In the end, for the conservator it is a matter of judgement, not only ethically and aesthetically, but practically in terms of what is achievable and socially right.
