Causa Materialis Pancasila Menurut Notonagoro

Abstract

In investigating the original cause of Pancasila, Professor
Notonagoro involved the use of causality theory. Based on the
causality theory, Pancasila’s causa materialis originated from
traditions, cultures and religions belonged to Indonesia. The traditions
here are in the sense of their relation to the social, economics,
politics and state structure problems. But it is important to be
firmed here that the traditions can be transformed into sila-sila
Pancasila even thought not at all.   
Causa materialis of Pancasila originated from Indonesian
cultures involve everything which was produced by human mind
such as science, technology, economics, art, etc. Because of the
understanding of culture are determined by the scientific point of
view, in this case, the local cultures of Indonesia which were taken
as sila-sila Pancasila have not been explained here.
In addition, causa materialis of Pancasila originated from
religions can be expressed throughout the reality of Indonesian as
religious people who acknowledged the Great Unity of God. This
divinity principle tends to show that Indonesian people believe in
God. More than this, each Indonesian people believe in God on the
base of their religion and faith.
