In this paper, we base the primary concepts appear in Alexander's four volume “The Nature of Order”, such as wholeness, center, structure-preserving transformations, mirror of the self tests, and God on A. N. Whitehead's cosmology called “philosophy of organism”. Firstly, we examine the motivation of writing these four books by analyzing the criticisms towards “Pattern Language.” After showing Alexander's the tacit and new assumption in the books, we show how Whitehead's problem of the bifurcation of nature, that causes some of the deep problems in pattern language, is solved in the Nature of Order in terms of the Whitehead's philosophy.
