Sinopsis

Hook line: Explore the big questions of life, mind, and destiny through a bold argument that blends reason with faith. This inquiry invites readers to consider what it means to be human and what may lie beyond.

This edition presents a direct, plain-spoken examination of the origin, evolution, and future of mankind. It weighs the claims of science, philosophy, and religion while emphasizing personal understanding and practical insight.



Beginning from the premise that the self is more than its physical form, the text argues that mind, consciousness, and identity persist beyond bodily change. It uses simple illustrations to show how outward forms can be instruments for a deeper, universal life, and why belief in immortality can arise from a thoughtful engagement with experience.




  • How mind relates to matter and what consciousness may endure after the body changes

  • Ways faith and reason interact when exploring life, origin, and destiny

  • Illustrative arguments that connect everyday observation to larger questions of existence

  • A discussion of how ideas and experiences might outlive physical forms



Ideal for readers curious about life, death, and the quest for meaning.

Excerpt from The Problem of Life and Immortality: An Inquiry Into the Origin, Composition, and Destiny of Man

The part containing the proofs and illustrations of immortality was written as a lecture more than twelve years ago. And although no subject of such deep and abiding interest has reached, or even approximated, the stage of final settlement, and though none has been more ably and earnestly discussed during these years than this, I have as yet seen no reason to change my views on any of the points here presented.

It was my original purpose to leave the problem of God, or First Cause, as already settled affirmatively. Then I remembered that the sacred books of Jews, Brahmins, Christians, Mohammedans, are no longer of binding authority with the deepest thinkers. And it is bandied about among half-thinking materialists, that the argument from design is exploded, merely because Paley overdrew a little in some of his illustra tions from natural history.

Excerpt from The Problem of Life and Immortality: An Inquiry Into the Origin, Composition, and Destiny of Man

Although the part of this book relating to the origin and composition of man has been under consideration during more than twenty years, it was not until after the publication of Mr. Darwin's speculations on the "Origin of Species," and the "Descent of Man," that the ideas herein contained were reduced to writing.
