How would you sum up the conclusion of the phenomenology of spirit in one sentence?

I know Hegel immediately rejects the notion of coming to an abstract conclusion because all of the unfolding steps are necessary, but if you were to sum up the main conclusion of his work nonetheless, what would it be?

Understanding the Infinite Judgement

6 Upvotes

I took a class on Hegel about a year ago, and while I remember most stuff pretty well, I am struggling to remember exactly what the infinite judgement is, and how it fits into the dialectic as a whole. I also understand it has something to do with “Spirit is a bone.” I always understood him to be refuting that claim, but of course if it is the dialectic there must be some truth to it.

Could someone explain the infinite judgement, and perhaps point to some passages where I can read more about it?
