Abstract
EDUCATION AND CULTURE IN THE WORK OF LÊ THÀNH KHÔI – Education in a broad sense, whether formal or informal, composes the major concern of Lê Thành Khôi. Throughout his work, he has endeavored to demonstrate its fundamental role and meaning in the endogenous dynamics of civilization. His consistently pursued goal is to produce an overall theory of education incorporating both the historical and the contemporary as well as the universal and the particular. For Lê Thành Khôi, education and culture form two sides of the same coin; seen globally, they complement or rather mutually influence each other. This perspective radically challenges all forms of xenophobia and ethnocentrism as well as all restricted and ossified ways of thinking. The following study presents an overall picture of education and culture in the work of Lê Thành Khôi with a view to the way that they contribute to helping us understand ourselves and overcome our contradictions in living successfully together.
