This year in particular, for the first time in the history of the Tran Van Giau Science Award, a work on the History of Thought was honored. The Award Committee recognized this as a research work that has both scientific and practical significance: contributing to clarifying the appearance of two typical endogenous religions, which play an important role in social life in the South, which have not been thoroughly studied up to now. Thereby, the work also contributes practically to the education of traditions - ethics, the implementation of religious - belief policies and cultural policies in the context of accelerated development in the South in particular and in the whole country.
