Summary of the findings of the thesis: Based on the study of Evolution and Ethics and the works of the confucian patriotism in the early twentieth century, we draw some results as follows: 1. Reading, reviewing and studying the translated work of Nghiem Phuc 2. Studying the influence of Evolution and Ethics on the literary works of the confucian scholar patriots in the early twentieth century, in which addressing the influence vocabulary and thinking. Some nouns such as "vật cạnh thiên trạch”, "cạnh trạnh sinh tồn”, "ưu cường liệt bại”, “hợp quần”… in the Evolution and Ethics (translated version) had been reused, firstly and foremost, in some works that were created by Phan Bội Châu, Phan Châu Trinh, Nguyễn Thượng Hiền, Huỳnh Thúc Kháng. They had also contributed into the changes in the ideology of the contemporary revolutionary. 4. Clarifying some matters in the early twentieth century, the acceptance of Western ideas, in which the typical is the Darwin ‘s socialism that the confucian scholar patriots have mainly received through the translated books from China. It means that based on the Sino, the confucian scholar patriots have approached to the idea of civilization in the world, but its negative side is that the reception these new ideas must be done through a subjective prism of the Chinese. Studying the Evolution and Ethics indicates that although Nghiêm Phục declared that he prefered with translating theory including tín, đạt, nhã but in reality he had added, reduced, adapted and commented quite alots things in the work (the translated version). He has only translated the common idea and added some his subjective commentary that helped it fit the current situation of China at that time. 11. Practical explicabilities: Studying the effects of Evolution and Ethics (translated version) on the confucian scholars’ literary works in the early twentieth century, we want to help people understand more clearly the process of receiving new West ideas in Vietnam in the early twentieth century. 12. The next direction of research: - Studying further the work (translated version) to define more thoroughly the influence of Evolution and Ethics to the confucian scholar patriots in the early twentieth century. - Continue to study further the influential ways of Evolution and Ethics to the confucian scholar patriots in which they are direct or indirect or maybe via another work. - Expanding the scope of research to further explore methods of receiving Western ideas in Vietnam early twentieth century. 12. Further research directions, if any: 13. Published work related to the thesis: not available.
