摘要

摘要：本文分析了20世纪六七十年代历史学家转向计算机进行历史研究后提出的一些问题。重点是通过研究计算机程序员同时在自己的领域中进行的辩论来丰富这一背景。特别是，讨论了使用形式语言来增强这两种实践的理论基础。第二点，编程中的争论也得到了强调：当历史学家转向计算机编程时，程序员正在成为自己实践的历史学家，参与关于如何书写历史的方法论讨论。

Historians and Programmers in the 1970s: Formal Languages, the Writing of History, and Ideas of Science.

This article analyzes some of the issues raised by historians after turning to computers for historical research in the 1960s and 1970s. The main point is to enrich this context by looking into the debates computer programmers were having in their own field at the same time. In particular, the use of formal languages to enhance the theoretical basis of both practices is discussed. A second point, the debates in programming, is also highlighted: as historians were turning to computer programming, programmers were becoming historians of their own practice, engaged in methodological discussions on how to write their history.

期刊介绍： Since its inception in 1940, the Journal of the History of Ideas has served as a medium for the publication of research in intellectual history that is of common interest to scholars and students in a wide range of fields. It is committed to encouraging diversity in regional coverage, chronological range, and methodological approaches. JHI defines intellectual history expansively and ecumenically, including the histories of philosophy, of literature and the arts, of the natural and social sciences, of religion, and of political thought. It also encourages scholarship at the intersections of cultural and intellectual history — for example, the history of the book and of visual culture.
