Abstract: For the first time, Aristotle synthesised, in his Metaphysics, the holistic principle, in a specific way, sustaining the idea that a system’s properties cannot be determined or explained individually by each of its parts, but the system, as a whole, determines how its parts would act. The holistic approach of literary symbols implies the change of the attitude in order to facilitate the comprehension, and to discover things in a more optimistic process, holding back the pessimistic view of things. The human being in relation with itself, with the society and the universe, has a unique manner of exhibition recorded in modern cognitive psychology, and sometimes manifested in literature. C. G. Jung’s concept of “collective unconscious†implied a bond between the individual and humanity as a whole; the representation of an idea that becomes a symbol of a universal acceptance.
