"The Iliac Passion" traces a return from the new but busy and rapidly growing discipline of "bioethics" to its source in "fundamental philosophical inquiry." The dilemma between bioethics and medicine is examined in two ways. First, the philosophical concept of the "big question" is presented. If we ask of life or of human experience "What does it all mean?", the "it" needs to be defined, and what I propose to do is to "take on" the "it." In Part Two, the task of combining the medical-technical objectifying mode of thinking about patients, necessary to treat them effectively, with the ability to understand and sympathize with their pain and distress, is illustrated by means of a personal story or parable.
《髂骨之痛》追溯了从新兴但繁忙且迅速发展的“生物伦理学”学科回归到其“基础哲学探究”源头的过程。从两个方面审视了生物伦理学与医学之间的困境。首先，提出了“重大问题”的哲学概念。如果我们针对生命或人类经历提问“这一切意味着什么？”，那么这里的“这一切”需要加以界定，而我打算做的就是应对这个“这一切”。在第二部分，通过一个个人故事或寓言来说明将有效治疗患者所需的对患者进行医学技术客观化思考模式与理解并同情他们的痛苦和困扰的能力相结合的任务。
