| Summary: | Pancasila is the Indonesian state philosophy. It contains five basic principles produced from a
deep reflection and profound thought of the founding fathers of Indonesia. It embraces five
noble values espoused by the various ethnicities on the archipelago. These values are also a
unifier of these diverse ethnic groups into one nation state of Indonesia, an identity of the
nation, as well as guidelines in running the life of the state. This paper questions the
relevance of Pancasila as the way of life for the nation in this era of globalization. The
historical and the analytical perspective approaches are used to look at the role of Pancasila
throughout the life of the country until today. It is recognized that Pancasila is increasingly
more important, especially for the nation to be able to survive in the global era, because it is
the national character, and guidelines for all the societies to carry out their lives, as well as to
determine the direction of the nation in order to achieve its objectives. |
