Tran-Duc-Thao. Gli anni della formazione e dell'impegno politico (1917-1945)

Among the best known and influential interpreters of Husserlian philosophy in the 1940s, Tran-Duc-Thao (1917-1993) is at the center of a revival of interest. In this context, the present contribution, starting from unpublished archive documents, intends to propose a biographical and theoretical reconstruction of the first philosophical and political interests of the Vietnamese philosopher. His first two articles published in 1945 are the point of arrival of a slow and rich philosophical and political experience, which this work aims to reconstruct in its details, in which the young Vietnamese interacted with both the most important authors of his generation and with the great problems posed by a turbulent historical moment.
