This paper concerns the notion of order and its role in the conceptualization of healing, and therefore its importance to healing itself. It proposes a model of healing in which order is central. The paper begins with an example drawn from Javanese mystical practices which are based upon the concept of the unity of the human and natural orders. The Javanese case provides a metaphor for an expanded notion of order. This prefigures a consideration of the nature of the concept of order in medical anthropology, science, and medicine. The importance of the notion of analogy (and metaphor) in the concept of order and how order may be simultaneously conceptualized in both cognitive and biological domains is also discussed in the paper. The perspective on order and healing developed here goes beyond conventional biomedical categories and provides a basis for the fundamental reconceptualizations necessary for addressing contemporary developments in psychoneuroimmunology, for example.
本文探讨秩序的概念及其在康复概念形成中的作用，进而探讨其对康复本身的重要性。它提出了一个以秩序为核心的康复模型。本文开篇举了一个源自爪哇神秘主义实践的例子，这些实践基于人类与自然秩序统一的概念。爪哇的例子为秩序的扩展概念提供了一个隐喻。这预示着对医学人类学、科学和医学中秩序概念的本质进行思考。本文还讨论了类比（和隐喻）概念在秩序概念中的重要性，以及秩序如何在认知和生物领域同时被概念化。这里所阐述的关于秩序与康复的观点超越了传统生物医学范畴，例如，为应对心理神经免疫学的当代发展所必需的根本性概念重构提供了基础。
