Order is the planning of time and organizing of resources, as well as of society.〔Erving Goffman, ''Relations in Public'' (1972) p. 15〕 Although order is rarely discussed as a virtue in contemporary society, order is in fact central to improving efficiency, and is at the heart of time management strategies such as David Allen's ''Getting Things Done''. ==Emergence== The valorisation of order in the early stages of commercialization and industrialisation was linked by R. H. Tawney to Puritan concerns for system and method in 17th-century England.〔R. H. Tawney, ''Religion and the Rise of Capitalism'' (1937) p. 193-5〕 The same period saw English prose developing the qualities Matthew Arnold described as “regularity, uniformity, precision, balance”.〔Quoted in Deirdre N. McCloskey, ''The Bourgeois Virtues'' (2006) p. 164〕 "Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time" is a saying attributed to Benjamin Franklin in 1730, while he was 20 years old. It was part of his 13 virtues. A darker view of the early modern internalisation of order and discipline was taken by Michel Foucault in ''The Order of Things'' and ''Discipline and Punish'';〔G. Gutting ed., ''The Cambridge Companion to Foucault'' (2002) p. 97-9〕 but for Rousseau love of order both in nature and in the harmonious psyche of the natural man was one of the tap-roots of moral conscience.〔Lawrence D. Cooper, ''Rousseau, Nature, and the Problem of the Good Life'' (2006) p. 92-6〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Order (virtue)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
