François VI, Duke de La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680) was a French writer and moralist. He is best known for his "Maxims," a collection of aphorisms that offer insight into human nature and society. La Rochefoucauld's work reflects the complexities of 17th-century French aristocracy and continues to be studied for its psychological depth.
