At the Collège de France, Vuillemin introduced analytical philosophy to France.[4] Vuillemin’s thought had a major influence on Jacques Bouveresse's works.[5] Vuillemin himself vindicated the legacy of Martial Gueroult.

A friend of Michel Foucault, he supported his election at the Collège de France, and was also close to Michel Serres.
