Primes

• Anachronism
  • T3 — Accessibility vs. rigor trade-off. As Tuck (1979) demonstrates in his genealogy of natural-rights theories, strict anti-anachronism in popular history produces unreadable prose (because modern readers lack the vocabulary of the depicted period).

    This sourceGenealogy carefully dating the emergence of modern rights concepts (Gerson, Grotius, Selden, Hobbes) to prevent anachronistic back-projection — supports the accessibility-vs-rigor tension (D40-075).
