Summary Of Pancasila
Principles Of Pancasila
Pancasila derives from two Sanskrit words, “panca” meaning five, and “sila”
meaning principles. It comprises five principles as follow :
1. Belief in the One and Only God (in Indonesia, Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa).
2. Just and Civilized Humanity (in Indonesia, Kemanusiaan Yang Adil Dan
Beradab).
3. The Unity Of Indonesia (in Indonesia, Persatuan Indonesia).
4. Democracy Guided By The Inner Wisdom In The Unanimity Arising Out Of
Deliberations Amongst Representatives (in Indonesia, Kerakyatan Yang Dipimpin
Oleh Hikmat Kebijaksanaan, Dalam Permusyawaratan/Perwakilan).
5. Social Justice For The Whole Of The People Of Indonesia (in Indonesia, Keadilan
Sosial Bagi Seluruh Rakyat Indonesia).
Pancasila has a unique pattern of thought which is very important to be understood.
The pattern of thought of Pancasila is as follows :
1. All the principles of Pancasila cannot be separated from one to another. They
must be understood in togetherness.
2. All the principles of Pancasila are interrelated. Belief in the One and Only God
must be connected with the principles of just and civilized humanity, unity of
Indonesia, democracy and social justice principles.
Pancasila as the foundation of science development means that all the five
principles of Pancasila become norms and guideline in developing science and
technology. Some terms of experts showing the role of Pancasila as the reference
to Science and technology development are Pancasila as intellectual bastion
(Sofian Effendi) and Pancasila as common denominator values (Muladi).
Urgency of Pancasila as the value foundation of science development for the
students is to show the role of Pancasila as the normative reminders of the
Indonesian science development. In addition, the development of the Indonesian
science has to have the root in Indonesian culture and involve the wide societal
participation.
