3.2. Conclude

It can be seen that the idea of ​​the modern Western rule of law state is a spiritual product of the era, arising from the reality of Western society with great changes in all aspects of economy, politics, culture and society in history. Moreover, it is the inheritance and selective absorption of the main values ​​from the great sources of ideas in the West in ancient and medieval times. The birth of the idea of ​​the modern Western rule of law state is a natural phenomenon to meet the inevitable requirements of history as a method of exercising people's power in the bourgeois state, a cultural, ideological and academic response to the current social order.

Research on the ideas about the rule of law state in modern Western philosophy shows that most authors focus on clarifying some basic contents that regulate the existence of a rule of law state such as: About law; about democracy; about separation of powers, etc. That is the process of development, deepening the concepts of the rule of law state in the history of thought, the voice of progressive forces, the breath of the times and the aspirations of people in the struggle to reclaim their inherent natural rights. Researching the content of ideas about the state in modern Western philosophy is of special importance for referring to and applying the rational cores of that ideological system to the process of building a socialist rule of law state in Vietnam today.

The concept of the state in modern Western philosophy contains many values ​​and rational cores that can be exploited and applied in Vietnam today. Those values ​​have been recognized, inherited dialectically and creatively applied by our Party to the specific conditions in our country. That is clearly shown in the content of the documents of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the great achievements in our country's revolutionary cause. In addition to the achieved results, the practice of building a socialist rule-of-law state in Vietnam today has raised and is raising fundamental issues that need to be considered and resolved such as: building a legal system; promoting democracy; organizing state power; building civil society and developing a market economy in a socialist rule-of-law state, etc.

Applying the values ​​and rational cores of modern Western rule of law theory to solve practical problems in our country today is an important task and needs to focus on the following main contents: In building legal content, it is necessary to establish the true common will of the people and institutionalize it into law; Regarding the way of organizing state power, it is necessary to implement the principle that state power is unified with division, coordination and control among agencies in the implementation of legislative, executive and judicial powers. Continuing to build and perfect socialist democracy, ensuring that all power belongs to the people. Correct and sufficient awareness and appropriate mechanisms are needed to ensure unity and synchronous development between the rule of law state, civil society and socialist-oriented market economy.

With the above meaning, promoting research and exploring new aspects and values ​​of approaches to the idea of ​​the rule of law state in modern Western philosophy is an extremely important task and needs to be promoted to provide us with important suggestions for successfully building a socialist rule of law state of the people, by the people and for the people.

3.2. Conclusion

It can be seen that the idea of ​​a latter-day western state governed by the rule of law is the spiritual product of the time which arose from the reality of Western society filled with great changes in all aspects of economy, politics, culture and society in history. Moreover, it is the inheritance and selective absorption of the major values ​​from the great sources of thought in the West in the ancient and middle ages. The emergence of the latter-day Western rule-of-law state is a legitimate phenomenon that meets the indispensable needs of history as a means of exercising the power of people in the capitalist state, which is a cultural, ideological and scholarly reaction to the current social order.

Studying the ideas of the latter-day western rule-of-law state shows that most of the authors focus on clarifying some of the basic contents regulating the existence of a rule-of-law state such as the law, democracy, decentralization, etc. It is the process of development that deepens the notions of the rule of law in the history of thought, the voice of progressive forces, the breath of the times and the aspirations of human beings in the struggle to claim their natural rights. The study of the content of thoughts of the state in the latter-day Western philosophy has a particular importance for the reference and application of the logical nucleus of that ideology to the process of building the socialist rule-of-law state in Vietnam today.

The concept of the state in later-day Western philosophy contains many values ​​and rational nuclei that can be exploited and used in Vietnam today. These values ​​have been recognized by our Party, dialectically inherited and applied creatively to specific conditions in our country. This is clearly reflected in the documents of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the great achievements in the revolution of our country. In addition to the results achieved, the practice of building a socialist rule-of-law state in Vietnam today has raised the following fundamental issues to be considered and resolved: law building, promotion of democracy, organizing state power, building civil society and developing a market economy in the rule-of-law state, etc.

Adopting the values ​​and the rational nucleus of the latter-day western rule-of-law theory in addressing the practical problems posed in our country today is an important task and should focus on some main contents as follows: In the development of legal content, it is required to establish the common will of people and institutionalize it in law; in organizing state power, it needs the principle of state power unified with the assignment, coordination and control among agencies in the exercise of the legislative, executive and judicial powers. Continue to build and perfect socialist democracy, ensuring that all power belongs to the people. Be aware sufficiently and appropriately with mechanisms to ensure uniformity and synchronous development between the rule of law, civil society and the socialist-oriented market economy.

In this sense, the promotion of research, exploration of new dimensions and values ​​of approach to the thought of the rule-of-law state in latter Western philosophy is a very important task that needs promoting to provide us with important suggestions for successful building of a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people and for the people.
