From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mikel Dufrenne (1910 in Clermont, Oise – 1995 in Paris) was a French philosopher and aesthetician. He is known as an author of existentialism, and is particularly noted for the work The Phenomenology of Aesthetic Experience (1953, in French as Phénoménologie de l'expérience esthétique).

He encountered the work of Karl Jaspers while a prisoner of war, in a camp with Paul Ricoeur.[1]
