歷史真正重要的不是事實，而是事實與事實之間的關係，或者進一步說，是解釋「如何」及「為何」，這是與我們當下學習歷史的態度差異最大的地方。按司馬遷的態度，歷史不是一堆「What」，重要的是「How and Why」。在個人層次上，一個人為什麼會用這種方式講話做事？作為一個群體，彼此行為之間的互動會產生什麼模式，他們為何如此？某些事情會導致什麼樣的後果？為了達到某種目的又選擇何種手段？這些都在歷史裡，也是我們理解、研究史學時最重要的挑戰。當我們以這樣的視野和方式去整理豐富龐雜的史實，就會對人類行為有一個合理的解釋，從而碰觸到普遍的人類經驗，真正做到以古鑑今，讓歷史對當下現實有所幫助。司馬遷在著作中清楚地展現了這種歷史態度。他用了幾個重要的觀念解釋《史記》的目的。

But when each one turns her away, Emily realizes that the only door that will open for her is the one she creates herself. Knock, knock.Who's there?It's me, Emily. May I come in? And so begins Emily's search for a door that will open. The first door is blue, and the voice behind the door tells Emily that she doesn't sound very bluish. The second door says it only opens for tigers, crocodiles, and snakes. But she is a girl named Emily-- and the animals are hungry--and so she moves on. The third is only for people who speak very quietly, and the door can hear Emily. Finally, Emily comes to a place without a door. She gets out her chalk
