Hegel's Thoughts on Immortality

Hegel talks about the religious believer, "Knowing himself in God, he at the same time knows his imperishable life in God; he knows of the truth of his Being, and therefore the idea of the immortality of the soul here enters as an essential moment into the history of religion. The ideas of God and of immortality have a necessary relation to each other."

Finally he states that, "Spirit is immortal; it is eternal; and it is immortal and eternal in virtue of the fact that it is infinite, that it has no such spatial finitude as we associate with body."

As to whether Hegel believes the soul is immortal, and what is the nature of our own immortality, if any, the answers to these questions are not clear in Hegel's works.
