wiki.fr claims that Vuillemin is a friend of Foucault, and they also discussed each other while Foucault worked on OT.

I have been reading Jules Vuillemin's 'L'Heritage Kantienne et la revolution copernicienne: Fichte - Cohen - Heidegger', (1954), and it is obvious that a great deal of Foucault's ideas about the post-Kantian epistemological framework must have been influenced by this work. Yet nowhere do I recall Foucault acknowledging his influence. Is Vuillemin's influence on Foucault well known? If not, it certainly should be, for it strikes me that, at least for his early, 'archaeological' work, this book is as least as important as, if not more important than, the other usual sources of influence that are often cited, such as Canguilhem.
