Abstract: The article argues against phuein and phusis in the Politica as they can represent any stage of growth by including growth, maturity, and decline. It mentions that their systematic ambiguity is of great importance because different texts of Greek philospher Aristotle can be used to suggest that phusis is associated either with birth or with maturity. It further presents references of several books of Aristotle to support the aforesaid literature.
