Recherches vietnamiennes en phénoménologie : Tran Duc Thao, Thích Nhất Hạnh et Trịnh Xuân Thuận

Abstract

Through the epistemological itinerary of the philosopher Tran Duc Thao, the Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh Trinh Xuan and the astrophysicist Trinh Xuan Thuan, the author reveals a certain continuity in the Vietnamese research on human consciousness, its genesis and its universe. Is it a flight forward or a simple desire to know, to think life and awareness of life beyond the historical and cultural contingencies? The philosophical critique of the “dominated intellectual” therefore is similar to human’s defense in its essence, its universal humanity face the challenges of the time.
