This study discussed that the university liberal arts education system, which teaches the core competencies for students in order to adapt to the rapidly changing modern society, needs to create creative social innovation capabilities based on humanities thinking. Liberal arts education systems in universities interact with various knowledge systems to enhance the identity of creative convergence knowledge between academic fields, but ultimately, such knowledge content comes from pure academic discussions based on humanities thinking. As university education strengthens applied and practical knowledge against flexibility in the labor market at this time, such a knowledge system is actually based on humanities values that help people adapt to the time of the intersection of modernity and postmodernity and seek security. The importance of trust structure in humans and society is being further enhanced through the coevolution of differentiation and dedifferentiation by flexible specialization in the time and space of modern society. In addition, university liberal arts education based on humanities thinking is structuring alternative cultural codes in order to create creative social innovation capabilities that social members must learn in the de facto final socialization process before entering society. Now, university liberal arts education should be promoted in the direction of strengthening creative social innovation capabilities based on humanities thinking that helps students take the initiative in interpreting the meaning of life and predicting and solving social problems in risk situations on a personal and interrelational level.
