"The merit of von Herrmann's and Alfieri's precise and unparalleled scholarship lies in rediscovering the hermeneutic landscape of Heidegger's writings, as well as unveiling the unthought dimensions of his philosophy. Through their collaboration, these two outstanding scholars both broaden and counterbalance the conversation concerning the recent controversies sparked by the Black Notebooks. In an especially timely way, their book stands out as one of the most important contributions to Heidegger studies in several years." (Frank Schalow, eudia.org, Vol. 16, 2022)
