Francois de La Rochefoucauld

French philosopher and moralist As he recounted in his memoirs (1662) The first years of his adult life were spent between the army and the French court, involved weapons in acts of love affairs. However, in 1652, due to an injury he suffered in the Battle of Faubourg Saint-Antoine that forced him to rest for a while, returned to Paris and came into contact with the literary circles. Then conceived his most famous work, the Maximum (1658-1663), collection of 700 epigrams which constitute a landmark of French classicism. Taking the natural selfishness as the essence of any action, La Rochefoucauld self-deception and attacked with depth and wit found the contradictions of human psychology.
