About Arts & Letters Daily
Arts & Letters Daily began in 1998 in the belief that the internet could be a vehicle for meaningful intellectual exchange. We’ve since linked to more than 20,000 articles, book reviews, and essays, an archive that adds up to a thinking person’s guide to the world of art and ideas. Denis Dutton, our late founder, called Arts & Letters Daily a "reading list — with attitude," which sums it up just right.
Arts & Letters Daily offers a weekly roundup of its most popular articles, and daily reading picks. Its motto, “Veritas odit moras” (from Seneca's version of Oedipus), conveys, “truth hates delay. ”
Our subscribers are intellectually discerning people from around the world, including scientists, educators, journalists, editors, people in business, entertainment, medicine, and political leaders.
