Abstract

This study integrates Aristotelian, Islamic, and Pancasila ethics to formulate an operational framework for fostering "just and civilized" character within Indonesia’s plural society. Using a qualitative philosophical approach and systematic literature review, the research employs descriptive-interpretative, comparative, and integrative synthesis analyses. Findings reveal distinct moral orientations: Aristotelian ethics emphasizes immanent practical rationality, Islamic ethics is grounded in transcendent spiritual growth, and Pancasila functions as a public normative ethic. The novelty of this research lies in its departure from "eclectic aggregation"; instead, it proposes a multi-layered integrative model that harmonizes practical wisdom (phronesis), spiritual purification (tazkiyat al-nafs), and social cooperation (gotong royong) without compromising the epistemological integrity of each tradition. Practically, this framework provides a robust conceptual roadmap for character education and public policy in Indonesia, offering a middle ground that bridges religious-transcendental values with secular-rational virtues to enhance social cohesion in a diverse national context. By positioning individual virtue as the foundation and the common good as the ultimate orientation, this synthesis ensures that Pancasila ethics remains a relevant and applicable moral guide for modern Indonesian society.
