About

The Charles Tew Letter features essays explaining, expanding, and applying the radical philosophy of Ayn Rand: Objectivism.

In my weekly practical essays, I apply the principles of Objectivism to current events and concrete issues, covering everything from the false theory of value underlying the cryptocurrency movement to the religious roots of transgenderism, from the philosophical premises that cause obsessive-compulsive disorder to the absolutism of free speech.

In my monthly theoretical essays, I explain the principles of Objectivism as such, from the eternity of the universe to the harmony between free will and causality, from the rational mind’s need for art to the incompatibility of government regulation with human life.

As a free subscriber, you will receive my weekly practical essay, posted every Tuesday at 1 p.m. ET.

As a paying subscriber, you will additionally receive my monthly theoretical essay, posted on the first Thursday of every month at 1 p.m. ET.

Every new edition of the letter is both emailed to subscribers and available to read on this website. Subscriptions include access to the archive of past editions.

Paid subscriptions are $30/month. Annual subscriptions are discounted to $25/month ($300/year). You also have the option of becoming an Apostle, which is a way of helping me to indelibly stamp Objectivism onto the history of Western civilization by supporting my work with a subscription of any amount greater than $300/year. The financial security your payment provides makes it possible for me to spend my time thinking and writing about the ideas that form the foundation of an exalted life. In that sense, the reward for your support is the existence of everything I produce.
