Abstract

Is bullying evil? The short answer is 'yes, bullying is sometimes evil'. As researchers, we have to give an account of how one reflects on this question. The goal of this chapter is to provide some meta-reflections on what is required to answer this question. I argue that one must include three dimensions: the individual, the group and the conditions for social interaction. I seek to show that each level of this analysis is necessary but also inadequate.
