Abstract

For many years, informed persons have expended considerable time and energy attempting to evolve an acceptable philosophic assessment of the concept of "privacy." Studies made in the fields of anthropology, phychology, and sociology are in general agreement that both the mental and physical well-being of an individual requires freedom to experience some degree of personal anonymity within the environment. While the significance of "privacy" has been recognized, it has eluded the constraint of an acceptable definition. The search for a workable definition continues as man seeks a means for establishing practical bounds for inter-personal relations.
