On HTA: "In accordance with these two gestures, Heidegger was prevented from summoning love to the ontological register. On the one hand, he could, in effect, only collide with the metaphysical-dialectical thinking of love, which had redirected the Mitsein [being-with] into the space of subjectivity. On the other hand, love insofar as it is traversed by Being exceeds the very movement of Fürsorge [care], which 'surpasses and liberates the other': this movement is still thought starting from an 'I' or from an 'identity' that goes toward the other, and it is not thought as what cuts across and alters I going to the other while the other comes to it."
