History has a way of by passing some philosophers which are only discovered long after they are gone. Leonard Nelson [influenced by Kant and Fries] has just begun to be noticed. [Except Kelley Ross was trying for along time to bring his teachings to the public on his web site on the Friesian School].
One reason is I think that he was in bitter conflict with the Neo Kant school in Marburg.
There are probably other reasons like the fact that WWI made philosophy based in Germany unpopular--to say the least. WWII did nothing to add to the popularity of German philosophy.
I wanted to mention that though he was based to some degree on Fries, he corrected some mistakes in that approach. [Though I forgot what they were off hand.]
[However I have to add that that I think that Leonard Nelson and Hegel are simply addressing different issues. After all both hold we have access to the "thing in itself" and Hegel is building a kind of Metaphysics that is built on Reason. It is not as incompatible with Nelson.]
