Abstract This article is a study of Charles Hartshorne's neoclassical or process interpretation of human immortality. After presenting Hartshorne's criticisms of other notions of human immortality (specifically personal immortality and social immortality), the author then discusses the metaphysical principles underlying Hartshorne's claim that human immortality can only be in the form of “being remembered by God”. These principles are: God as the recipient of values, the immortality of the past, and personhood as a series of events rather than a substantial self. Given certain difficulties and ambiguities in Hartshorne's own version of human immortality and other considerations not accounted for satisfactorily in Hartshorne's position, the author suggests that Hartshorne could be more open to the notion of personal immortality.
