Doctoral dissertation
The old, imperfect, yet important doctoral work that, inter alia, led to Baruchello being awarded the 2003 D.F. Forster Medal. Completed under the supervision of Prof. John McMurtry, it initiated a long-running philosophical concern with cruelty: what it is, what it does and doesn't do, why it persists in spite of all the alleged plans to do away with it, and why philosophical traditions and individual practitioners often fail to face it directly or thoroughly.
