To explore the relation between religion and politics in<br />Pancasila, Martha Beck used Alfred North Whitehead's process philosophy, Carl<br />Gustav Jung's archetypes psychology and Ervin Laszlo‟s systems theory. To approve<br />that Pancasila and Pillars of Islam has synergy to Indonesia‟s national education,<br />Irawan used the concept of scientia sacra by Seyyed Hossein Nasr. The results showed<br />that the Indonesian national education system consistently present in a triangular<br />relationship between religion (spiritual humanism), politics (democracy) and cultural<br />(multicultural and tolerance). The relationship manifested in Indonesian National<br />Education System, which is always grounded philosophically and aims at three<br />things; 1) form human who believe, cautious and has noble character; 2) master of<br />science and technology; and 3) actively participate in creating order and peace in the<br />world, even a blessing for the entire universe. Indonesia's national education system<br />could be a new alternative in building a more holistic education systems around the<br />world because considered crucial interconnection between science, religion, interests<br />of state and demands of the global.
