Sätze aus der höhern Welt- und Menschenkunde

by François VI. de La Rochefoucauld

This book, originally published in 1678, presents a collection of aphorisms and maxims by the French writer François VI. de La Rochefoucauld. The work offers a sharp and often cynical perspective on human behavior, exploring themes of self-interest, ambition, love, and hypocrisy. La Rochefoucauld's observations focus on the motivations behind human actions, often highlighting the darker aspects of human nature. His pithy and insightful pronouncements have made this work a classic of French literature and a cornerstone of philosophical thought.
