learning atmosphere and process so that students actively develop their potentials to
have competence, personality and knowledge according to each of study program.

infrastructure, business institutions and other professionals practicing the Pancasila

Pancasila are implemented and put into practice so that each group of society
maintains its own identity, and directly or indirectly engages in continuous dialogue
with others so that through different approaches and interpretations everyone can
learn, at least theoretically, the universal values in Pancasila in order to maintain unity
or co-existence, mutual cooperation (gotong royong), and humanism.
The understanding of Pancasila in the course of Indonesian history underlines
some important points as the following:
1. Pancasila is the authentic product of the founding fathers of the republic of
Indonesia
2. Pancasila values have its sources and are taken from traditional, cultural and
religious values.
3. Pancasila is weltanschauung of nation and foundation of the Indonesian state
philosophy.

administration of a regime is weak.

is the best choice of the Indonesian nation.

foundation of the unitary country of the Republic of Indonesia, ideology of the
country, system of philosophy and foundation for the science development.

 Pancasila As The System Of Philosophy


Pancasila as the system of philosophy has been discussed since the founding
fathers discussed the problem of the country foundation and weltanschauung. Even
though both of them contain the philosophical ideas, but it is still necessary to
academically reflect Pancasila as the system of philosophy in more deeper way.
There are two academic approaches of Pancasila as the system of philosophy
that are complementary to one and another. Those are as the following:
1. Pancasila as genetivus objectivus which places Pancasila as an object or current that
is investigated by other philosophical currents.
2. Pancasila as genetivus subjectivus which places Pancasila as subject investigating
other currents of philosophy.
Urgency of Pancasila as the system of philosophy is as the following
1. To have reasonable explanation of the principles of Pancasila as the political
principles so that it can be further implemented in managing the country
2. To open dialogues from new various perspectives in the nation and country life
3. To be able to become the evaluation frame for the activities that are connected to
the country, nation and societal life.

 Pancasila As The System Of Ethics

Pancasila as the system of ethics is branch of philosophy that is explained


from the principles of Pancasila to guide the behavior and attitudes in the
country, nation and societal life. For that reason, it contains justice, democracy,
unity, humanity and divinity or religious values. Those five values constitute
Indonesian people’s behavior in all aspects of their life;
The urgency of Pancasila as the system of ethics for the Indonesian nation
is to be norms of behaviors in the country, nation and societal life in Indonesia.
Accordingly, the violation in the country life such as corruption (violation of
power) can be minimized.
 Pancasila As The Value Foundation Of The Science Development

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.
