Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 The Philosophy and the Ethical Standard -- Chapter 3 The Person as a Problem: The Crisis Of Objectification Imposed On Human Existence -- Chapter 4 Disenfranchised, Neglected and Violated, The Black American's Experience of the World -- Chapter 5 Double-Consciousness in Action, Putting the Problem in Context -- Chapter 6 A Responsible Way Forward: How One Ought to Behave when Encountering the Problem -- Chapter 7 Learning, Embracing & Living the Ethic.

Within the context of W.E.B. Du Bois' question "How does it feel to be a problem?", this volume examines the "problem" using a phenomenological approach, that is to say, in terms of one's experience of such. More specifically, the author explores three points: the Black person's experience of being a problem for White America; her experience of White America as a problem or obstacle for their survival and ability to thrive; and her experience of navigating, negotiating and surviving a world that is presented as a duality. This book deconstructs the world(s) that the Black person experiences by first understanding her as a "Dasein" (the Heideggerian concept of a being that is aware of its being in the world and aware of other beings that are in the world it experiences) In considering the Black person as a Dasein, the author affirms the intrinsic value of her being and, therefore, validates the experience she has of the world in which she finds herself. Finally, this volume incorporates Emmanuel Levinas' philosophy of the face and Paul Ricoeur's study of the self to help craft an understanding of the ontology of human relationship to support the advocacy for an ethical encounter between the Black person and those whom she encounters in both the Black world and the White world in which she must navigate and concurrently exist. Avery Merriel Smith is an instructor in the Department of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago where she was nominated for the St. Ignatius of Loyola Excellence in Teaching Award in 2022. In 2017 she completed her PhD in Philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. Her specializations are 20th Century Continental Philosophy, ethics and metaphysics. She has had careers in Corporate America and the United Nations, which have influenced her research focus: the ontology of human relationship, corporate ethics and Critical Race Theory. Dr. Smith uses an interdisciplinary approach in her teaching by incorporating philosophy with theology, history, sociology, mathematics, science and the arts and employing various media including cinema and literature. Finally, she has started a master's program in Theology at Loyola University Chicago where she will specialize in Biblical Studies and Biblical Languages.
