Pancasila (Indonesian: [pantʃaˈsila] ⓘ) is the official, foundational philosophical theory of Indonesia. The name is made from two words originally derived from Sanskrit: "pañca" ("five") and "śīla" ("principles", "precepts").[1]
It is composed of five principles:
- Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa (Belief in the one and only God[note 1])
- Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab (Just and civilized humanity)
- Persatuan Indonesia (The unity of Indonesia)
- Kerakyatan yang dipimpin oleh hikmat kebijaksanaan dalam permusyawaratan/perwakilan (Democracy guided by the inner wisdom in the unanimity arising out of deliberations among representatives)
- Keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia (Social justice for all the people of Indonesia)
The legal formulation of Pancasila is contained in the fourth paragraph of the preamble of the Constitution of Indonesia.
