Living with a wilful, aggressive and seemingly incorrigible adolescent behaviour is a nightmare many heartbroken and confused parents face. This book shows parents how to combat an arsenal that ranges from blatant verbal challenges to actual physical violence withour resorting to harsh disciplinary measures, expensive counselling, or hospital-based programmes.

Covering a variety of philosophical disciplines, this text provides definitions of such key terms as chance, choice, duty, good and evil, honour, human nature, memory, time, soul, and will, and sheds light on how they have been interpreted, used, or abused in both scholarly and common discourse.
