The Problem of Life and Immortality: An Inquiry into the Origin, Composition, and Destiny of Man is a book written by Loring Moody and published in 1872. The book delves into the fundamental questions of human existence, exploring the nature of life, the origins of humanity, and the possibility of an afterlife. Moody presents a comprehensive analysis of the various philosophical, religious, and scientific perspectives on these topics, drawing on a wide range of sources and traditions. He examines the theories of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, as well as more contemporary thinkers like Darwin and Spencer. The book is divided into several sections, each of which tackles a different aspect of the problem of life and immortality. Moody begins by examining the nature of life itself, exploring the various theories about its origins and composition. He then moves on to consider the question of human consciousness, exploring the relationship between the mind and the body.

He explores the various religious and philosophical views on the afterlife, examining the evidence for and against the existence of an eternal soul.
