Project description
This research solves knowledge gaps concerning Vietnamese religion and philosophy in the 18th century (“zoomed-out”) by analyzing the inclusion of the Chinese Three Teachings (i.e., Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism) in Le Quy Don’s philosophy (“zoomed-in”). Le’s views on the Three Teachings are used to elucidate the unique syncretic nature of Vietnamese religion and philosophy during this era.
