Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to an analysis of the former meanings of the notions: politics, politician and politic(al), in Polish and German. The occurrence of these notions has been attested in both languages since the 17th century. Their earlier meanings are not the same as the modern ones, which is particularly important for a proper understanding of their use in texts from the 17th -19th centuries. Using the example of two works by the 17th-century author Maciej Gutthäter-Dobracki, as well as lexicographic writings, the article discusses differences in contemporary and former definitions of the concepts under analysis.
