Chandler explores the foundational ideas of W. E. B. Du Bois, emphasizing their relevance to contemporary thought. Through close readings of Du Bois's early essays and annotations of "The Souls of Black Folk," he highlights key epistemological concepts and the significance of the African American experience in challenging traditional ontology. Chandler argues that Du Bois's notion of "the problem of the color line" reveals deeper implications for understanding modern enslavement, colonialism, and capitalism, advocating for a renewed philosophical appreciation of Du Bois's work.
