Abstract

Phan Chau Trinh (1872–1926) was one of Vietnam’s most prominent reformist thinkers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Throughout his revolutionary career, he contributed significantly to the nation’s ideological heritage, particularly with his notable doctrine on people’s governance (dân trị), which emphasized empowering the populace and asserting their sovereignty in the country’s development. This body of thought is rich, distinctive, and revolutionary, especially within the colonial semi-feudal historical context of Vietnam at that time. Due to certain objective and subjective conditions, Phan Chau Trinh’s theory of people’s governance inevitably bore some historical limitations. However, if these limitations are critically addressed, the enduring values within his political thought may offer valuable lessons for Vietnam’s contemporary development.
