Physis (English spelling)

Japanese: フュシス(英語表記)physis
Physis (English spelling)
A Greek word translated into Latin as natura, and therefore also into modern European languages ​​as nature, Natur, etc. The oldest use of this word in Greek philosophy can be found in a fragment by Heraclitus, where it means the original form or true nature of something. It can also be translated as nature or essence, but considering the complexity of the meaning of this word in Greek philosophy as a whole, nature is the most appropriate translation.

Japanese:
ラテン語ではnaturaと訳され,したがって現代ヨーロッパ語でもnature,Naturなどと訳されるギリシア語。ギリシア哲学におけるこの語の最古の用例はヘラクレイトスの断片に見ることができるが,それによれば,〈もの〉の〈本来あるがままの姿〉〈真実あるがまま〉を意味する。したがって本性,本質などと訳されたりもするが,ギリシア哲学全体において示されるこの語の意味の複雑さを考えると,〈自然〉が最も適切な訳語である。
