傅科用知識考古學方法，批判西方17 世紀末至18 世紀初傳統醫學的歷史研究方法之缺失，然後他採用凝視之愛之醫學倫理與現代臨床解剖醫學技術，講求「健康代替拯救」的口號，提出「生命、疾病和死亡」三位一體的概念，探究可見的不可見物，提昇醫療品質與促進醫學革新，使人的生與死之隔的深層結合，讓人的生命價值更加寬廣與延續，對現今醫學研究貢獻良多。 Faucoult uses the Archaelolgy of Knowledge methods to critique the flaws of historic medical methods of research from the end of the seventeenth century to the beginning of the eighteenth century. He then notes the medical ethics from L'Amour du Regard and contemporary clinical dissecting techniques, promotes the slogan of “health over saving” and proposes the concept of “The Trinity of Life, Diseases and Death”. He studies the visible invisibilities, enhances medical qualities, catalyses medical innovations, binds life of death in their deepest definition, and broadens human's values of life. He is of great contribution to contemporary medics.
