KUHP is the result of a critical breakthrough for the Indonesian nation. What is interesting point about the National Criminal Code is that it accommodates the principle of material legality in addition to the principle of formal legality. The arrangement of the quo principle is assumed to be similar to the reality of the relationship between the human body and soul. This article wants to discuss philosophically and conceptually 4 main things related to the reality of the Legality Principles of the Indonesian National Criminal Code. First, discuss the concept of philosophical presuppositions regarding the relationship between Articles 1 and 2 of the National Criminal Code and the relationship between body and soul in human reality according to several philosophers. Second: discuss the basic ontological reality of Article 1 of the National Criminal Code. Third: discuss the basic ontological reality of Article 2 of the National Criminal Code. Fourth: discuss the philosophical relationship between the two provisions of Article a quo. This research is normative legal research with a philosophical and legal approach. The results of the research show: First: the concept of philosophers' thinking, which in its essence really emphasizes the element of human unity as a complete reality composed of soul and body. Second: in ontological reality, the provisions of Article 1 of the Indonesian Criminal Code are laws and are a logical risk of modern law (legal positivism) which prioritizes the reality of visible and objective phenomena. Third: that in ontology the provisions of article 2 of the Indonesian Criminal Code are anthropological facts of the Indonesian people themselves starting from the journey of civilization, Pancasila as the basis of philosophy, the source of all sources of law, and the 1945 Constitution as the source of legal order (normative constitution). Fourth: the form of philosophical relationship between the two a quo provisions appears in the juridical, moral, and sociological synthesis of the new Indonesian Criminal Code.
