Abstract

As the philosophical basis of the Indonesian state, Pancasila encompasses various spiritual, social, and cultural values. Soekarno introduced Pancasila in his speech at the session of the Investigating Committee for Preparatory Work for Independence (BPUPK) on June 1, 1945, with the aim of unifying the vision and basic principles of the Indonesian state. Pancasila, as the state ideology, is stated in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution and regulates various aspects of life. In this article, science is discussed in the context of Pancasila using the causality, descriptive, normative, and philosophical approaches. Regarding the values of Pancasila, causality is divided into materialist, formalist, efficient, and finalist. The descriptive and normative approaches are used to understand the conditions of society and establish norms. The results of this study are that by integrating Pancasila with science, we can get a deeper way to deal with social, economic, and environmental problems. Pancasila as a Weltanschauung offers a broad perspective on the world, regulates political and social aspects, and provides guidelines for understanding the relationship between humans and the universe. The conclusion and suggestion are that this concept includes cultural, philosophical, spiritual, and moral values that exist in Indonesian society which can be translated into everyday life.
