創刊於一九六三年的《思與言》，歷經五十年的風霜雨雪，依舊屹立不搖，它的每一道足跡，都是臺灣人文社會科學發展的見證；歷史學領域，自然也不例外。本文回歸文本，精細觀察討論《思與言》刊佈的與史學相關論著的內容，闡釋《思與言》的「史學實踐」對於一九六○年代以降臺灣史學發展的影響與意義，既可為瞭解《思與言》自身的歷史，也可為略窺臺灣史學的歷史場景與過程，提供一個觀察視角。

This essay provides observations about the historical practices of the
journal Thought and Words (established in 1963), while also analyzing
such practices in the context of Taiwanese historiography. The author pays
close attention to the influence exerted by articles published in Thought and Words, and does so from a range of different perspectives. First, these works criticized old-fashioned historical practices, and advocated that scholars strive to combine the methodologies of history and the social sciences. In addition, they helped stimulate new perspectives on academia, and supplied new ideas and materials from the world of liberal arts education for younger generations of scholars interested in interdisciplinary research. Taken as a whole, the articles that appeared in Thought and Word reflect unique developments in the methods and practices of Taiwanese historiography.
