2. Reasons for choosing thesis topic
Theoretical thought plays an important role in developing of quality, personality and deciding effectiveness of human practical activities Affirming the value and great significance of theoretical thought, Ph.Angghen says: " A people want to stand on the pinnacle of science is not lack of theoretical thought."
Resolution No.769/NQDUQSTU of the Central Military Commission on "Developing the officer staff period 20132020 and subsequent years," affirmed to fulfill the responsibilities and assigned tasks, besides the requirements of political qualities, qualifications, each officer must have the theoretical thought, good working methods, working practical capacity, selfreliance, creativity and efficiency; capable of handling the complex issues that arise in practice.
Trang 2The commissars who presided over the politics and handling the work of party and politics work in the platoons. They plays a key role in leading and directing the construction of a strong political platoon that contributing significantly to the cause of building the Vietnam People's Army "Revolutionary, formal, elite, gradually modernized"; firmly safeguard the socialist republic of Vietnam. The tasks that require the commissars must not only have consistency, steadfassstne, political acumen, but also have scientific theoretical thought to identify fast, to make timely decision with high accuracy and to orient all activities of the platoon with the highest quality and efficiency.
With practice over 70 years of building the army, especially the results of 10 years of implementation of Resolution 51 of the Politburo has shown that theoretical thought of the commissars has developed by which the commissars have developed and matured. However, considering the requirements and the tasks of building the army, defending nation in the new situation, the theoretical thought of some commissars also has limitations, shortcomings and should make good. It is the lack of scientific knowledge systems and applying the theory into practice and ineffective behavior before the complex political situations, limited military ability and can not meet the requirements, demands of the commissars of platoons. In some units, the theoretical thought training and development
of the commissars has not been properly respected. The awareness and responsibility of some leaders, commanders of the need to develop theoretical thought of the commissars are incomplete and not profound. The content, forms, methods, measures of theoretical thought development of the commissars are not appropriate so it affects the quality and efficiency of leading and directing the activities of building the Party and political work in the military units and the level of task completion of officials, soldiers today

3 Evaluation of the result of published scientific works and the research issues of the thesis
3.1. Evaluation of the result of published scientific works
First, the authors noted, analyzed and interpreted the concept
of theoretical thought, the theoretical thought development of officials under the approach angle and the different research methods; but they are basically agreed and confirmed the role and the importance of the theoretical thought development of officer staff. Specifically, there are a number of works that have generalized the concepts of "theoretical thought of the Communist Party of Vietnam", "theoretical thought of cadres and Party members,"
"theoretical thought of young officers of the People's Army Vietnam"
Secondly, the project has analyzed and interpreted the role
theoretical thought for the development of qualities, personality and deciding effectiveness of human practical activities. In which, most of the authors consider theoretical thought as a "necessary and sufficient" condition of the cadres in the leadership and direction of military practices. Therefore, development of theoretical thought is an important work in the cause of building and protecting the country today
Thirdly, the authors have quite interpreted profoundly the theory
and practical situation of the theoretical thought development for cardes and officers nowadays. At the same time, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and challenges of the development of theoretical thinking of staff, current officers. Accordingly, the difficulties
Trang 8and challenges of the theoretical thought development of the officers have objective and subjective reasons In which is the cause of disregarding and simplifying the role of the theoretical thought development in a number of cadres and Party members nowadays.

clarifed the position, role and tasks of the commissar in the cause of building and defending our country. The authors have consistently affirmed that the commissars are the elite part of the officers of Vietnam People's Army.

conditions has been mentioned quite a lot, but the nature and the specified factors of the process of theoretical thought development has not been thoroughly interpreted In particular, the theoretical thought development of a specific object as the commissars of Vietnam People's Army has not deeply interpreted. Therefore, the concerned issues in the thesis should continue to resolve is to clarify the nature and characters of the theoretical thought development of the commissars of People's Army of Vietnam
Practically, by generalization and historical summarization
methods, the practical theories of the theoretical thought development has been mentioned quite deeply. However, to clarify
Trang 9the practical theories of the theoretical thought development of a specific object is the political commissar, not only using a certain method, but also using many methods in which the majors are method of analysis and synthesis, practical summarizing, sociological surveys and studies forecast Thus we will have the basis for evaluating objectively, comprehensively, accurately the practical situation as well as pointing out the issues need to be resolved in the theoretical thought development of the commissars of Vietnam people's Army today.
Regarding solutions, to implement the theoretical thought
development with high quality and efficiency, not only in a theoretical and practical basis or basic requirements. In contrast, on the basis of the scientific orientation of theory and practice, to concretize solutions and system of feasible and suitable measures. Accordingly, suggestions and commentaries system of the development of theoretical thought solutions of a specific object as the commissars of Vietnam People's Army today is one of the fundamental problems posed in the thesis that required to solve satisfactorily.

Trang 10Chapter 1THE NATURE AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THEORICAL THOUGHT DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMISSARS OF THE PEOPLE’S ARMY OF VIETNAM1.1. The nature of the theorical thought development of the commissars of the people’s army of Vietnam
1.1.1. The theorical thought and the theorical thought of the commissars of the people’s army of Vietnam
* The theorical thought
In practical activities, man must undergo a very complex thinking process. Marxist Leninist assertion, thinking is the highranking product of organic especial material is human brain. Ph.Angghen emphasized: "If people ask questions that what thought and consciousness are, where they come from, people will see that they are the products of human minds" . But the posed issues above are the direct basis for the author to study, clarify in the thesis
May be concept: Thinking is an advanced stage of cognitive process that reflecting indirectly, generalizing and creating things and phenomena through the concept, judgment, reasoning, judgment, opinion, theory ; and closely linked with perception and language.
The appearance of theoretical thought is a qualitative leap in the process of human perception. Theoretical thought is a creative activity that taking practice as the basis, but practice has its historical development, so each time with different characteristics, whereby theoretical thinking has different content Theoretical thinking reflects objective reality with system of concepts, categories, rules brings a deep understanding of the nature, the rules of motion and development of things, phenomena
From the above analysis, it is possible to come to the concept that: the theoretical thought is the kind of higher level thinking; based on the concepts, categories, rules; through analysis, synthesis, generalization, abstraction to find the nature, the rules of
Trang 11motion and development of the things, phenomena; oriented cognitive and practical activities of man.
* The concept of the theorical thought of the commissars of the people’s army of Vietnam
The commissars of the Vietnam People's Army is the cadres
of the Party in the army who preside over politics and directly conduct the Party’s political work at the level of company, battalion
or equivalent units; from the rank of the second lieutenant to the lieutenant colonel; they operates under the leadership, direction and guidance of the Party committee, commissars, political superiors and direct leadership of the battalion Party committee, the party cell of company or the equivalent
Studying the formation, development and practice of detachment unit in Vietnam People's Army, besides the common characteristics is "party’s cadres in the military," the commissars also have the private nature of the duties such as working conditions, education, capacity, methodology, working behaviors, psychosocial factors, health and their theoretical thought
From the above analysis, it is possible to come to the
concept: Thinking of the commissar staff of Vietnam People's Army is the type of higher level thinking that based on the concepts, categories, rules; through analysis, synthesis, generalization, abstraction to find the nature, the rule of Party and political work, help the commissars complete the tasks of authorities on politics in the division.
The theoretical thought of the commissars includes: system comprehensive scientific knowledge, mostly scientific knowledge systems of Marxism Leninism and Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, guidelines and policies of the Party, State, and military commands and discipline; the knowledge of party and political working; philosophical knowledge, logical knowledge is the direct knowledge of thinking study; method of materialistic dialectical thinking; ability of analyzing, detecting, capturing actual situations at
Trang 12division; ability of applying the theory to solve practical tasks effectively; ability of summarizing and drawing experience, complementing, developing the theory
Through the manipulation of thinking such as analysis, synthesis, generalization, abstraction to find the nature and the rules
of Party and political work, the theoretical thought of the commissars
was formed and developed. Thus, the commissars aware and resolve the conflicts that arise in the process of implementation of the party and political work better
Theoretical thought of the commissars is expressed through language and actions of the authorities on politics in divisions, who
directly educate and train and is inextricably link with the soldiers. There is not assisting agencies on politics so the leadership and management of the commissars is "speaking and doing" directly solve every task
1.1.2. The concept of theorical thought development of the commissars of the people’s army of Vietnam
