It takes the reader through the different milieus of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - including the World Wars and the Holocaust - to present a unique understanding of Chagall's artistic vision of peace in an age of extremes. At a time when all identities are being subsumed into a \"national\" identity, this book makes the case for a larger understanding of art as a way of transcending materiality. The volume explores how Platonic notions of truth, goodness, and beauty are linked and mutually illuminating in Chagall's work. A \"spiritual-humanist\" interpretation of his life and work renders Chagall's opus more transparent and accessible to the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt will be essential reading for students of art and art history, political philosophy, political science, and peace studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFred Dallmayr\u003c\/strong\u003e is an American philosopher and political theorist.
