The paper addresses the social psychological and philosophical aspects of envy, illuminating main research problems in the current field, and outlines the possible ways of exploring the topological structural and dynamical dimensions of this social psychological phenomenon. It is especially emphasised that exploring envy is not a purely academic issue as its solution defines our notions of the various social factors underlying envy and of the psychological mechanisms responsible for various manifestations of envy in situations of social comparisons.
