Law and order are indivisibly linked in the minds of men. The issue that is examined in this paper is whether the nature of law and order in a society is such that it can co-exist with (social) conflict. The issue is approached with the theoretical vision aimed at, firstly, order, and subsequently, the Linked concepts of "law/justice and order". A brief perspective is provided of the Western concept of order. The author dissociated himself from a concept of order which conceives of Itself as intrinsically being an abstract, idealized image of peace and harmony, which pretends to embody (something of) an order of creation (or of rational insight by men) in normative terms, which seeks to be Imposed on human societies.
