Andrew Y. Lee is interested in the structure of consciousness. His work examines how structural concepts—such as degrees, dimensions, continuity, discreteness, parts, wholes, isomorphisms, and state-spaces—can be applied to conscious experiences. Some of his work can be described as “mathematical phenomenology.”

Andrew also works on philosophical questions about welfare & value, introspection, perception, & attention, analog & iconic representation, and infinite sums. His areas of research cut across mind, ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, language, science, math, and cognitive science.

Alongside philosophizing about conscious experiences, Andrew even sometimes has some experiences of his own.
