Simmel's concept of secrecy ?

Question

Consider Simmel's concept of secrecy as it applies to personal romantic relationships; how do you feel about secrecy in the Simmelian sense in regards to your own relationships?

Answer 1

According to Loomis and Loomis, Simmel thought of secrecy of any kind as "hidden information." Even in his day (the late 1800's), information was a source of power.

In a personal relationship, the individual who has maintained her or his secrets from the other has also gained a power advantage.
