520    The moral command not to lie is among the simplest of all 
       moral imperatives. Yet its counterpart, to tell the truth,
       is a subtle and complicated philosophical topic. Truth-
       telling is usually viewed as a prima facie duty-a duty "on
       first sight" which may be overruled by other prima facie 
       duties, such as reparation, justice, gratitude, non-
       maleficence, beneficence, and self-improvement.  St. 
       Thomas Aquinas (following Plato, Aristotle, and others) 
       understood truth to be the correspondence between what we 
       think and the way things really are. By contrast, Spinoza,
       Leibniz, Hegel, and others have favored a coherence theory,
       where a new truth must be logically valid and consistent 
       with other known truths. David Hume and the American 
       pragmatists emphasized the role of experience in 
       identifying truth. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said truth is 
       effective communication, and that it exists among a 
       community of truth seekers (who can never reach the 
       fullness of truth, which is God).  The philosopher Sissela
       Bok defines a lie as "any intentionally deceptive message 
       which is stated." However, non-disclosure may also be a 
       lie if it's intentionally deceptive. Secrecy is sometimes 
       a way of forming a special bond with another person or 
       group; it may be a group strategy to secure power, 
       prestige, or profit. Confidentiality is the protection of 
       other people's secrets.  Privacy involves the access 
       others have to our personal domain; it involves personal 
       affairs, while secrecy may not. Privacy also may be seen 
       as control over information about personal identity and 
       intimate or sensual contact; it also may be seen as a 
       standard of what is normal or legitimate to know about one
       another.  The right to privacy is fundamentally in tension
       with the right to know--just as private affairs are in 
       tension with public affairs. Given the modern tendency to 
       politicize private affairs, some have proposed redefining 
       privacy as what one chooses to withdraw from public view.
