Jean Grenier (6 February 1898, Paris – 5 March 1971, Dreux-Venouillet, Eure-et-Loir) was a French philosopher and writer. He taught for a time in Algiers, where he became a significant influence on the young Albert Camus.
In 1922, Grenier gained a teaching qualification in philosophy and began his academic career at the Institut français in Naples, alongside Henri Bosco. He then spent some time working on the literary journal La Nouvelle Revue française (NRF) before returning to teaching as a professor of philosophy in Algiers, the capital of Algeria.
Albert Camus became a student of Grenier's and a close friendship developed between them. Strongly influenced by ‘Les Îles’ which came out in 1933, Camus dedicated his first book to Grenier: 'L'envers et l'endroit’, published in Algeria by Edmond Charlot. His ‘L'homme révolté’ was also dedicated to Grenier, and Camus provided the preface to the second edition of ‘Les Îles’ in 1959.
