I identify three aspects to the puzzle of the speckled hen: A general puzzle, an epistemic puzzle, and a puzzle for the representationalist. These puzzles rely on an underlying “pictorialist” assumption, that we visually perceive general, determinable properties only in virtue of determinate properties or more specific, local features of our visual experience. This assumption is mistaken: Visual perception frequently starts from a position of uncertainty, and is routinely able to acquire information about general properties in the absence of more specific information. Acknowledging that visual indeterminacy is structured this way resolves all three puzzles of the speckled hen.

视觉不确定性和斑点母鸡的谜题

我确定了斑点母鸡谜题的三个方面：一般谜题、认知谜题和表现主义者的谜题。这些谜题依赖于一个潜在的“图像主义”假设，即我们仅凭借我们视觉体验的确定属性或更具体的局部特征，才能在视觉上感知一般的、可确定的属性。这个假设是错误的：视觉感知经常从一个不确定的位置开始，并且通常能够在没有更具体的信息的情况下获得关于一般属性的信息。承认以这种方式构建视觉不确定性可以解决斑点母鸡的所有三个难题。
