Abstract

The aim of this research is to explain the understanding of Pancasila as a space for reconciliation towards harmony in Indonesia and explain the factors that have problems regarding Pancasila as a space for reconciliation. This research uses qualitative research methods or literature exploration (library) as a source for theology of religious science regarding theological studies of religions of reconciliation and pluralism and historical documents. These literary sources can be in the form of theological books, theological seminars, journals and other literary materials that discuss the theme of pluralism from a theological perspective of religious science. Good knowledge of Pancasila is very much needed and has an influence on efforts to build a spirit of pluralism in Indonesia. Based on the processed data, in other words, pluralism must be (very) active now or it will drift and fade. The social consequence is that it is no longer possible for a religion to live exclusively as an only child and firstborn, feeling superior and absolute, and then avoiding being involved in a pluralistic context with the needs of others. This pattern of living together (coexistence) seems urgent because of the objective reality of diversity which cannot be denied, avoided and denied. At the same time rejecting the pathological habits of confining oneself in the ghetto of fundamentalists who claim to be the owners of absolute truth while infidelizing and misleading different religions
