The title of this book echoes a phrase used by the Washington Post
to describe the American attempt to kill Saddam Hussein at the
start of the war against Iraq. Its theme is the notion of targeting
(skopos) as the name of an intentional structure in which the
subject tries to confirm its invulnerability by aiming to destroy a
target. At the center of the first chapter is Odysseus’s killing
of the suitors; the second concerns Carl Schmitt’s Roman
Catholicism and Political Form; the third and fourth treat
Freud’s “Thoughts for the Times on War and Death” and “The
Man Moses and Monotheistic Religion.” Weber then traces the
emergence of an alternative to targeting, first within military and
strategic thinking itself (“Network Centered Warfare”), and
then in Walter Benjamin’s readings of “Capitalism as
Religion” and “Two Poems of Friedrich Hölderlin.”
