本書精選100本關於日本人文科學領域主題的經典學術專書，供有志從事日本研究的大學生、研究生，以及相關領域的研究者參考，並以通俗易懂的方式解說其要點，以期為讀者的進一步深入閱讀略盡微薄之力。---------------------------------------------------至今全世界學日語的人數已超過380萬，又以華語圈最多。學日語的動機，不外乎是為了日本的動漫、去日本旅行等。面對科技蓬勃發展的今日，在ChatGPT、AI似乎試圖改變人類工作、生活現狀的今日，人們越來越需要科技無法取代，且建立在獨立思考、專業知識基礎上的創造力。此創造力不等於知識或資訊，而是無論未來科技如何發展，都會是社會上不可或缺的能力。而「學術」這個保護屏障正可以用來抵禦人們在毫無防備下可能接收到網路假新聞、假資訊的風險，因為學術重視的不是結論或資訊，而是導衍出結論的獨立思考過程。從這個意義上來說，閱讀論述獨立思考過程的學術專書，可說是至關重要的事，這也正是我們想出版本書的緣起。本書特色：1.導讀100本專書：以人文科學領域的經典理論研究為主，包括歐美的理論專書。期使非僅宥限於日本研究而已，而是以此為始，提供讀者普遍、深入閱讀的入口。2.涵蓋七個人文科學領域：包括思想研究、民俗學、歷史學、語言學、日語教育與第二語言習得研究、文學研究、現代大眾文化研究；而且是依據《中文圖書分類法》圖書排序。
