Summary of the thesis results: Nguyen Trai's thought is a topic that has attracted the attention of researchers. His ideas are rich and diverse, possessing immense theoretical value. Among them, Nguyen Trai's thought on the responsibility of the ruling power towards the people is one such example. Therefore, studying this thought is essential in the current process of reform in our country. This is especially true in the context of our country striving to protect, preserve, and promote the traditional cultural values of the nation, and combating the decline in moral responsibility among cadres and Party members. The thesis has explained the objective and subjective foundations for the formation of Nguyen Trai's thought on the responsibility of the ruling power towards the people. These are the great historical movements of the nation and the Nguyen Trai family in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. His ideas on the responsibility of the ruler towards the people are the culmination of the demands of the era. They emerged to meet the need to find a way to save the nation and its people, transitioning from a country under the oppression of foreign invaders to one built and defended its independence. Nguyen Trai creatively absorbed the essence of human culture, especially the combination of the Three Religions: Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, along with a deep tradition of patriotism and love for the people, to form his ideas on the responsibility of the ruler towards the people. Based on these foundations, this thesis delves into the starting point of Nguyen Trai's thinking. This is a holistic, unified way of thinking about the nation and the role and position of the people within that whole. According to him, the nation is unified by five elements: culture, territory, customs, government, and the people. Of these, the people are the central element, playing a decisive role in the nation's destiny. The people and the government are two forces with closely intertwined interests; therefore, although their work differs, they both aim to complement each other's interests. From this perspective, the thesis analyzes some aspects of Nguyen Trai's thought on the government's responsibility to the people. The government's responsibility is to nurture the people, educate them, and ensure their well-being. Fulfilling this responsibility is in accordance with the laws of nature and the natural order, as the government must repay the people for their direct labor in creating the wealth that sustains society. This stems from the moral consciousness of each leader and can only succeed when the government possesses four fundamental qualities: humanity, wisdom, courage, and loyalty. The thesis also points out the significance of Nguyen Trai's thought on the government's responsibility to the people in the current process of reform in Vietnam. The rational core of this thought has immense significance in the use and management of cadres and Party members, and in resolving the major relationship of "Party leadership, State management, and people's ownership." 12. Practical application: The content of this thesis serves as supplementary reference material for research, information, and documents on Nguyen Trai's thought for students and postgraduate researchers in the Philosophy Department of Vietnamese Thought. 13. Future research directions: In terms of scope: expanding the research to include all other thinkers of the dynasties in Vietnamese history on the issue of the responsibility of rulers to the people, and the philosophy of national development in relation to social responsibility. In terms of content: delving deeper into the values and limitations of Nguyen Trai's thought on the responsibility of rulers to the people, and the impact of the system of moral values in each historical period on social responsibility. 14.
