This text is trying to discuss an approximation to the concept of human emancipation, as part of our well-being, in terms of Education and Knowledge. Without abandoning our metaphysical perception of wholeness, as an extension of the continuity principle which connects our conscious and unconscious world, emancipation is considered as a personal struggle against all oppressions. Some of these are grounded in our inner world. In accordance with the Enlightenment request, reasoning and knowledge can help us to structure new forms of acceptances which are shaping our own emancipatory meaning. Under the impact of social influence and personal interpretation, the perceived knowledge is considered as a mental tool containing an upgraded valid information. Taking under consideration that this validity is not able to overcome the metaphysical origins of human thought, it is suggested that when this mental tool is functioning in a self-transformative, self-constructed, and flexible form, human intelligence is structuring a compatible information management mechanism, which can enable us to formulate our personal acceptances, bridge our empirical and hyper-empirical inner world, and enlighten our request for self-criticism, self-determination, and above all emancipation.
