Lee works on a range of issues in metaphysics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of logic and language. His current research is primarily focused on three areas: the metaphysics of art; fictional characters, empty names, and nonexistence; and the logic and semantics of conditionals. Lee also maintains an interest in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of Gottlob Frege.

I am happy to supervise students in the philosophy of logic and language, metaphysics, and aesthetics. I would particularly welcome enquiries from students wishing to work on any of the following: conditionals; empty names and non-existence; fictional characters; and the ontology of art.

Students interested in pursuing a PhD in aesthetics may want to apply for the British Society of Aesthetics PhD Studentship.
