本文旨在探討李家同的社會關懷書寫及實踐。本文發現李家同的創作,源自於他對社會人、事之關心,懷抱著知識分子的利他思想和淑世精神,以及他是虔誠的天主教徒、曾在「死亡之家」擔任義工有關。因此,李家同的書寫圍繞著三大主題,分別是:重視弱勢族群、關注教育議題以及針砭社會時事,這些都散發人道主義的精神。而李家同不只以寫作為喉舌,他更身體力行,在2002年成立「博幼基金會」,關懷的對象是弱勢的國中小學童,成立課輔中心,以提升學童未來的競爭力為目標,輔以品格及人文教育。博幼基金會從埔里出發,目前全台偏鄉已有十三個據點,李家同希望藉由教育來促進階級流動,讓窮困的孩子有脫貧的機會。李家同儼然是弱勢團體的代言人,他的書寫與行動更突顯出他「言行一致」的人格特質。
