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
