ABSTRACT

Le Thanh Tong (1442-1497), is one the kings with the longest time of reigning and taking power in Viet Nam history. He is not only an emperor, a prominent cultural person, a great poet, but also an outstanding politician of the Vietnamese nation in history. Le Thanh Tong's ideology about the state has made important contributions in bringing the country out of crisis and developing to the height of the centralized feudal regime in the feudal regime of Vietnam. It can be said that Le Thanh Tong's thought of the state stands out with profound views: the view of state power; viewpoints on administrative reform and complete construction of the state apparatus; views on military and diplomacy in the political guidelines and views on training and talent use in the state apparatus. That ideology up to now is still the practical and useful historical lessons in building the current socialist law-governed state of Vietnam.

Key words: Le Thanh Tong, philosophy ideology, the state, Viet Nam.
