Juristical Klironomy

Juristic (Legal) Klironomy is a klironomical science that studies the national and international legal aspects of the preservation of cultural heritage.

Juristic (Legal) Klironomy is an independent science of the Theoretical Klironomy direction in the system of the klironomical sciences.

  1. Jurisprudence is a set of legal knowledge and science that studies the properties of the state and law.
  2. Political science is the science of politics, i.e., about a special sphere of people’s lives related to power relations, the state-political organisation of society, political institutions, principles and norms, the action of which is designed to ensure the functioning of society, the relationship between people, society and the state.
  3. History is the humanitarian science, which is engaged in studying the person (his activity, condition, worldview, social communications, etc) in the past; in other words, the science studying various sources about the past to establish the sequence of events, the objectivity of the described facts and to draw conclusions about the reasons of events.

Jurisprudence’s main task is ensuring the rule of law in society. Legal aspects often play a crucial role in preserving heritage and character. The legal field protects the concept of inheritance and belonging of an object, item, or element to a physical, legal person or state and regulates the main parameters and criteria for inheritance and belonging. The same applies to objects, items, and elements of society’s cultural heritage.

Therefore, Juristic (Legal, Political) Klironomy plays an important role in forming a theoretical and practical approach to the development of klironomical sciences on the preservation of objects and items of tangible cultural heritage, like elements of intangible cultural heritage, and recreating the socio-legal picture of views on culture and cultural heritage in individual states and civilisations of the past.
