Abstract
What does Nature mean in the famous Aristotelian formula ?man is, by nature,
a political animal?? Within the context of the discussion with the Socratic
assertions in Plato?s Republic, Nature means that polis is not the result
of deficiency, but the expression of a positive desire. Thus, for human
beings, there is no state of nature before political life. This does not
mean that everything that is political is natural.
