摘要

羅光總主教學貫中西，其《生命哲學》一書的內涵融合了哲學與神學的思想。羅總主教的《創造論》講述創造者天主創造了宇宙萬物，並保存、輔助、照顧宇宙萬物。天主創造給宇宙萬物一種活力，此乃創生力，使宇宙萬物常變動，生生不息。由此形成了羅總主教的生命哲學。
一、筆者以理性神學與啟示神學詮釋以上的簡短道理。
（一）天主創造宇宙萬物：天主是宇宙萬物的動力因、樣式因、目的因。
（二）天主保存、輔助、照顧宇宙萬物。
羅總主教的《生命哲學》將生命來自天主、在天主內，回歸於天主。
二、羅總主教將生命的意義稱為「內在的自動體」，其活動是由能到成，其現象是變動。人生命的本性是靈魂依附肉體，由父母所生。筆者枕多瑪斯的《靈魂魂論》、《神學集成》、《駁異大全》中言詞詮釋生命的意義與功能現象。
生命是生物的現象，生物因生命而自動，生命在物體內，但物體不是生命，物體因生命成為生物。
生命有三種，即植物性生命，其功能現象是營養，生長、繁殖。動物性生命，其功能現象是外五官與內四官的感覺、欲望、移動。人的生命亦稱理性生命，其功能現象除有以上兩種生命的現象外，更特有的功能是理智與意志。
以上的詮釋証明羅總主教生命哲學的真實性。

Archbishop Lo Kuang is learned in both Chinese and Western philosophies, and his Metaphysical Philosophy of Life incorporates both philosophy and theology. Archbishop Lo's creationism is about how God the creator creates, preserves, assists and looks after all things. God the creator bestows a kind of vitality to all things, which is a creative power that makes all things ever-changing and ever-lasting; Archbishop Lo formed his philosophy of life accordingly.
First, the writer interprets the fore-mentioned points in terms of both rational theology and revelational theology.
A. God created all things: God is the efficient cause, the formal cause and the final cause of all things in the universe.
B. God preserves, assists and looks after all things.
In Archbishop Lo's Metaphysical Philosophy of Life, he argues that life comes from, exists in, and returns to God.
Second, Archbishop Lo defined the meaning of life as the ”internal automatic body,” whose activity is the process from being able to achieving, and whose phenomenon is change. The nature of human life is a physical body born by the parents and adhered with the soul. The write will try to interpret the meanings and functional phenomena of life with the terms from Thomas Aquinas's On the Soul, Summa Theologica, and Disputations.
Life is the phenomenon of creatures, which are automatic due to their lives. Lives are in the bodies of the creatures while the bodies are not lives but become creatures because of their lives.
There are three kinds of life: the vegetant life, the zooid life, and the rational life. The functional phenomena of the vegetant life are nutrition, growth, reproduction. The functional phenomena of the zooid life are sensations, drives, and movements. Human life is also known as the rational life, of which the functional phenomena are, besides the ones of the former two lives, are distinctively reason and will.
All the interpretation above confirm the virility of Archbishop Lo's philosophy of life.
