The concept of emancipation has been historically used to name a very wide range of forms of liberation, both individual and collective. As a consequence, from the period of Enlightment and the first revolutions and liberal constitutions, it became one of the fundamental concepts of modern political thought. In this article, I examine the theoretical assumptions and the historical forms of the modern concept of emancipation, but I also propose a revision of those assumptions and forms that takes into account the historical changes of the second half of the 20th century as well as the appareance of new emancipatory social movements.
