French term

de l'ordre de

French to English Social Sciences Philosophy
From an academic text on Plato's "Statesman":

S’il y a tissage politique, c’est que le modèle d’unité de la cité qu’impose le politique est de ***l’ordre du*** tissu. Parce que chaîne et trame s’entrelacent en s’opposant et en restant différentes l’une de l’autre, parce qu’un tissu est le symbole matériel et le modèle de la résolution univoque d’une contrariété, et parce qu’un tissu, comme une cité, peuvent toujours être déliés, tisser la cité n’est pas juste l’unifier, c’est l’unifier d’une certaine façon.
