 note = {Nowadays, the liberal education hardly survives nor thrives in the universities world-wide. While liberal studies are still needed today, we have to seek for possible and ideal forms of liberal education to be provided in the higher educational institutions in Japan despite most Japanese universities are future willing to focusing on the much more specialized and/or applied studies rather than liberal educations. One of the likely approaches for reviving the liberal studies is to refurnishing the topics to be covered. In the present perspective position paper, the author discussed the necessity and possible forms of future liberal educations in order to raise and release the novel types of human resources capable of not only adopting to but also pioneering and innovating the future society. In the early sections, views on the liberal studies through historical time span was brought about and discussion led to the vision that future innovators should be able to be benefitted by (and accessible to) the liberal knowledge as if "standing on the shoulders of giants." Then, importance of open and necessity of multi-disciplinary visions shared by both scientists and ordinary people were discussed. From the history, we can learn that there used to be specific periods represented by growth of science led by multi-disciplinary giants of knowledge (the many-sided men) especially the renaissance in Italy (14-15th centuries) and enlightenment movement in wider Europe (late 17th to early 19th centuries）. Lastly, novel liberal educational programs raising the novel type of many-sided people belonging to both science and humanity schools, educated and skilled in digital and bio-sciences (in addition to traditional liberal studies) are proposed.},
