Lee wrote a Masters thesis entitled 'A Study on Carl Schmitt's Concept of Dictatorship and Its Political Implication', which deals with the relationship between state, law and sovereignty. His main focus is early modern European political thought in the 16th-18th centuries, but it is also a part of a broader interest in Western philosophy or theology, from Plato to Kant and Schopenhauer. Interest in more contemporary subjects can be summarized by keywords such as analytical philosophy, philosophy of science, critical theory and Niklas Luhmann's system theory. The relationship between public opinion and media is always a topic of interest.
