Brian Tierney, Professor Emeritus at Cornell has written the book on the genesis of modern natural rights thinking that all future scholars and students of the subject will have to digest. It is a common understanding that modern natural rights thinking began in the Enlightenment with the likes of Hobbes and Locke. Other claimants for the title include Grotius in the 17th century, the theologian Jean Gerson in the 15th century, earlier still Ockham, and Aquinas.
Tierney argues that in fact it is in the thinking of the canon lawyers of the 12th and 13th centuries that one can discern the beginnings of modern natural rights thinking. This history of natural rights thinking between and is relevant to the important contemporary questions of whether natural rights is a "western" or more universal notion; of the scope or content of the idea of natural rights; of how the earlier classical and medieval ideas of natural rights relate to the modern notions; and of how natural law, the laws of nature, and natural rights, relate if at all.
Because much of the discussion is about the meaning and understanding of medieval latin terms one regrets not paying more attention in high school latin class. That said Tierney makes it as easy as it can be with his lucid analytic style.
