Wissenschaftsgeschichte zwischen Digitalität und Digitalisierung

Abstract

In his contribution to the first Symposium on Digitalität in den Geisteswissenschaften Martin Warnke took up and expandend the distinction between digitality and digitalisation previously introduced by Claus Pias for art history. According to this distinction, a practice in the humanities is digitalized if it is today computer-aided, but already existed previously in non-digitalized form. Digital activites are instead those that have only become possible thanks to new digital methods. In my contribution will argue that the history of science is today facing the challenge of becoming not just digitalized, but digital, if it wished to invesitgate the transformation which took place in science due to digitalities.
