Theoretical knowledge is characterized by the disinterested seeking of truth without an immediate ulterior purpose, contrary to practical knowledge, whose immediate aim is to guide human action. Disinterestedness in the seeking implies freedom in the knower, who is committed only to truth; thus, the characterization of theoretical knowledge as liberal knowledge. In a mediate way, the contribution of liberal knowledge is highly valuable for human and social life, and is projected through education.
