Journal of the History of Ideas

In the April 2011 issue (volume 72, number 2) of the Journal of the History of Ideas, S. Adam Seagrave published an article entitled "How Old Are Modern Rights? On the Lockean Roots of Contemporary Human Rights Discourse," which included a detailed discussion of several publications written by Brian Tierney. In the July 2011 issue (volume 72, number 3), Brian Tierney published a brief essay, "Response to S. Adam Seagrave's 'How Old Are Modern Rights? On the Lockean Roots of Contemporary Human Rights Discourse,'" addressing some of the points that Seagrave had made in his article. In "Identity and Diversity in the History of Ideas" Seagrave replies to Tierney.
