Abstract

Contracts in modern business practice serve not only as binding legal instruments but also as vehicles for realizing ethical values between parties. However, in reality, many commercial agreements are drafted solely based on the principle of freedom of contract, without adequate regard for the principles of good faith and contractual justice, which are essential to ensuring a fair balance of rights and obligations. The legal issue addressed in this study concerns the absence of explicit regulation regarding ethical standards in contract performance, particularly the role of good faith as a moral and legal foundation binding the parties. This study aims to reconstruct business legal ethics by positioning the principles of good faith and contractual justice as normative elements within Indonesia's civil law system. The research adopts a normative juridical method, utilizing both conceptual and statutory approaches, supported by doctrinal analysis and relevant jurisprudence. The findings indicate that the principle of good faith, as stipulated in Article 1338(3) of the Indonesian Civil Code, holds strong potential as a legal basis for assessing the moral legitimacy of contract execution. Similarly, the principle of contractual justice may serve as a corrective mechanism against imbalanced or exploitative business practices. Therefore, reconstructing business legal ethics through these two principles is crucial for developing a contractual system that is fair, morally grounded, and responsive to evolving socio-economic dynamics.

Abstract

The rapid social changes occurring in the modern era place law and society in a dynamic and complex relationship. This study seeks to philosophically analyze the relationship between law and society in the context of ongoing social change, and examines the role of law as both an instrument and a reflection of these social dynamics. This research uses a qualitative approach with a philosophical reflection method on the concepts of justice, norms, and social transformation. The results of the study indicate that law cannot be understood solely as a set of rigid rules, but rather as a historical and cultural product that continues to evolve in line with changing societal values. During periods of social transition, law plays a dual role: on the one hand, it functions as a control instrument to prevent change from causing chaos, and on the other, it acts as a mirror that reflects the aspirations, moral awareness, and demands for justice in society. Philosophically, the relationship between law and society is dialectical—society shapes law, and law, in turn, shapes social behavior. Therefore, justice in the context of a transitional society must be understood dynamically, namely justice that is able to adapt to change without losing its moral foundation. In conclusion, responsive law rooted in social values ​​is a prerequisite for the creation of substantive justice in a constantly changing society.
