Clément Rosset ([ʁɔsɛ]; born 1939) is a French philosopher and writer. He's the nephew of the painter Jean Dries.
After studying at the École Normale Supérieure, he took the agrégation of philosophy in 1965. For the next two years, Rosset taught French at the Université de Montréal, Quebec, Canada, then settled in Nice, France, where he taught philosophy until his retirement in the late 1990s. Presently he is living in Paris.
The bulk of his work consists in some 30 short books, all of them brief studies or essays on various topics. Most popular is probably Le réel et son double, that deals in an original manner with the inevitably illusionistic character of representations. Arthur Schopenhauer, on whom Rosset has published a few studies, remains a constant reference throughout his works. The fight with depression has introduced a more personal strain in the later writings of Clément Rosset.
