Abstract

This
paper aims to trate the issues of cultures and arts as reflection of
development of society in the ideas of Neo-Albanianism. The proponents of this
thinking value the intellectual movement as highly important in the context of
their actions toward the development of the country, e.g. only when they
possess real mental preparation can we jump into the field of practice to apply
their codified thoughts.

The
thoughts of Neo-Albanianism on culture, literature, and arts are expounded
generally in the form of redactional comments or recensions on particular
works, through which they generally achieve a sort of codification of their
views on these issues. In the general sphere, their theory relies on the
assertions of R. Descartes, E. Kant, A. Comte, and so forth, in the artistic sphere;
their views are more related to an evaluation of particular works from the
standpoint of their philosophical background.
