PEOPLE'S CHARACTER AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE ALBANIAN “NATIONAL DELAY”
Abstract
The timeliness of the Albanian National Interest today appears delayed in comparison with the resolution of the national questions of the neighbouring firmly established nations, such as the Bulgarian, the Greek and the Serbian nations. As a reason for the Albanian “national delay” special attention receives religion, as pointed out by all researchers surveyed for the article hereby. Religion itself, as a social phenomenon, has its own mutually intertwining reasons of economic and psychological character. Religion, above all, is a product of collective psychology, of the common mentality of its bearers in a definite period of economic conditions. Ultimately, it can be assumed that the prevailing of the Muslim religion among Albanians (which is one of the main reasons for their “national delay”) is a phenomenon resulting from their collective psychology. This assumption allows approaching the explanation of the Albanian “national delay” phenomenon and the answers to the questions: “Why is it so with the Albanians? Why do they adopt Muslim in majority?” in terms of the science national psychology, also referred to as social psychology.
