Abstract
Societal thoughts and beliefs are essential for implementing any philosophy in society and capture the attention of recent studies and policymakers. Thus, the current research examines the impact of societal thoughts, beliefs, and moral behavior on implementing modern Western philosophy in Vietnam. This research also investigates the moderating effect of societal culture on the relationships of societal thoughts, societal beliefs, moral behavior, and the implementation of modern Western philosophy in Vietnam. This research has followed the quantitative method for data collection and smart-PLS for analysis purposes. The results revealed that societal thoughts, beliefs, and moral behavior positively affect the implementation of modern Western philosophy in Vietnam. The findings also indicated that societal culture moderates the nexus of societal thoughts, societal beliefs, and implementation of modern Western philosophy in Vietnam. This study guides policy-implication authorities in focusing on the societal factors that could help implement philosophy in society.
