Pancasila Values , Deontological Ethics , Philosophy Moral EducationAbstract
The understanding of Pancasila is often still normative and narrow, or does not function as a practical guide in moral decision-making, especially when society is faced with contemporary ethical issues. Therefore, an approach is needed that can bridge the gap between Pancasila as a normative moral foundation and concrete moral practices in everyday life. This study uses a literature review with an interpretive qualitative analysis approach to sources of Pancasila, moral philosophy, and moral education. The results of the discussion show that there is normative coherence between the principles of deontological ethics and the values of Pancasila. These findings confirm that Pancasila can be understood as a system of collective moral obligations rather than merely symbolic. The implications of this study emphasize the need to reorient Pancasila moral education towards the formation of a rational and reflective moral obligation consciousness.
