羅含的〈更生論〉走中國形神思想發展史中的一篇重要文章，因爲他在此文中以純思辨的方式論證「更生」，而未使用佛教的義理。雖然其理論有些嚴重的缺失，但對其後的慧遠、宗柄和鄭群之提供了不少可貴的資料。可惜歷來鮮有學者研究其說。爲彌補此一闕漏，本文詳析〈更生論〉的論證，期能確定羅含在中國哲學史中的恰當地位。
Luo Han's ”Theory of Resurrection” is one of the important articles in the development of the Chinese theory of body and soul, because in this article he used pure philosophical arguments instead of those from any Buddhistic theory. Although his theory had some serious defects, it left some valuable thoughts to the following thinkers, such as Hui Yuan, Tsung Ping, Cheng Hsien-chih. It is unfortunate that this theory was neglected by most scholars. Accordingly, this article fully analyzes the arguments of this theory, with the view of evaluating the doe position of Los Has in the history of Chinese Philosophy.
