description Nguyen Binh Khiem (1491–1585) was a philosopher and one of Vietnam's greatest cultural figures of the 16th century. He was distinguished not only for his contributions to culture and education but also for his profound philosophical thought, particularly his political and social views. He was one of the leading intellectuals of the Later Lê dynasty. His thoughts have greatly contributed to the formation of political and social viewpoints in feudal Vietnam, leaving valuable lessons for the ongoing development of the country. Through his literary works, poetry, and practical activities, as well as his conduct, we can discern his deep political - social ideas. The first thing is his vision was of a peaceful society, one in which harmony prevailed both at the top and bottom of the social order, in which people respected and upheld moral principles. This would be a society of peace and prosperity, a foundational condition for the strength and thriving of the nation. Nguyen Binh Khiem's political thought is also expressed through ideas such as the concept of securing the people’s welfare, placing the people at the center; the critical spirit against and condemnation of feudal warfare. Studying Nguyen Binh Khiem's political - social thought provides a foundation for accurately recognizing the distinctive characteristics and value of his ideas in the development of Vietnamese national thought, as well as their relevance to the ongoing process of building Vietnamese society today.
