The aim of this paper is to understand the dynamics of the theory of order in the nineteenth century and to reveal a specific approach to mathematics, science, philosophy and decorative art in which order plays a prominent role. We will analyze the singular meaning that Poinsot assigns to the notion of order in the mathematical sciences, before describing the circulation of his writings on the order in the nineteenth century. Poinsot is one of the main sources of Cournot, who places the notions of order and form as the basis of his knowledge system. Then we will study the writings of Bourgoin who develops a combinatorics of ornaments based on the categories of order and form.
本文的目的是理解19世纪秩序理论的动态发展，并揭示一种秩序在其中扮演重要角色的数学、科学、哲学和装饰艺术的特定方法。在描述他关于秩序的著作在19世纪的传播情况之前，我们将分析普安索在数学科学中赋予秩序概念的独特含义。普安索是库尔诺的主要来源之一，库尔诺将秩序和形式的概念作为其知识体系的基础。然后我们将研究布尔万的著作，他基于秩序和形式的范畴发展了一种装饰组合学。
