Abstract: Through the history of the concept of pneuma, I will show how the two main functions of the spirit is, on the one hand, to organize a multiplicity and reduce it into a totality, and, on the other hand, to subject every singular to a community by dwelling in them. The concept of pneuma, therefore, is key to understand a paradigm of totalitarianism, that thinks in terms of totality and that functionalizes singularities. The critical history of this concept has a special importance for Christian Theology and its political implications.
