While more than 50% of the world’s population is connected to the Internet, the major platforms, and particularly Facebook, have acquired an enormous political power. This new situation forces us to rethink the emancipation project of the enlightenment. In this article, I propose that researchers in the humanities and social sciences take up this challenge by adopting and disseminating new standards of reflexive collective intelligence. Knowledge commons, open science and the sovereignty of individuals over the data they produce are unanimously accepted. But these essential principles are not enough. The available computing and communication power, combined with the use of IEML (a language with computable semantics), enables us to contemplate a transparency of the knowledge, meaning and authority creation processes. I present here the main strategic orientations for reaching these objectives. An epistemological revolution in the human sciences is within reach, and with it a new stage in the evolution of critical thinking.
