Pancasila Perspective on the Development of Legal Philosophy: Relation of Justice and Progressive Law

Abstract

The development of philosophical science spreads to aspects of the operation of law along with the dynamics of human civilization. However, this philosophical concept must be filtered with the essential values, including Indonesia. This is because the fusion of philosophical ideas with elements as stated in the state constitution of a nation must be interpreted and crystallized in various legal products issued by a government. This study aims to describe the Pancasila perspective on the development of legal philosophy in Indonesia and analyze the meaning of 'justice' from a progressive legal perspective. This research is legal research using a conceptual approach and legislation. The legal materials used in this research are primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. These two materials are considered to examine the legal issues raised in this research. The result of this study is that the philosophy of law in Indonesia is based on the precepts of all the principles in Pancasila. Pancasila is actually in line with the flow of legal philosophy, namely Sociological Jurisprudence. This departs from the three dimensions of Pancasila, which is oriented to give birth to harmony from the implementation of rights and obligations in every existing legal subject. Then, the concept of progressive law provides the view that Justice is more oriented as substantive Justice, not procedural Justice. This is because Justice is the essence of the law itself; so that Justice cannot be calculated mathematically, cannot be interpreted purely textually, or can only be said to be 'fair' when there are two people who have the same share as others.

Exploring the Intersection of Pancasila and Human Rights in Indonesian Law

“…Future research should focus on analyzing the long-term effects of incorporating Pancasila's ethical framework into the legal system on the protection of marginalized communities and vulnerable groups. (Sena, 2023) (Undang Undang, 2023) (Andriawan, 2022) (Prasetyo, 2022)This could involve an in-depth examination of specific cases where the principles of Pancasila have either facilitated or hindered the realization of human rights for these groups.Additionally, a comparative study that juxtaposes the intersection of Pancasila and human rights in Indonesian law with similar ethical frameworks in other countries could provide valuable insights. By examining how different legal systems navigate the balance between ethical governance, national ideologies, and human rights, researchers can identify best practices and potential areas for improvement within Indonesia's legal landscape.…”

“…65 It emphasizes that legal equality must be extended to every legal entity since the law is designed not only to guarantee legal certainty but also to foster societal happiness and welfare. 66 As such, the progressive perspective of law underscores the preeminence of human factors and human behavior over legislative aspects.…”

Character Building Profile of Pancasila Students As An Effort to Realize National Character

“…This suggestion is consistent with the national objectives found in Pancasila, including social fairness for all Indonesians. Put differently, the Pancasila philosophy, which emphasizes human values together with welfare and social justice, does not conflict in the slightest with education aimed at promoting the nation's noble ideals and culture (Pheeney, 2019;Kardiman et al, 2020;Andriawan, 2022).…”
