In this paper, I provide an account of the spatiality of olfactory experiences in terms of topological properties. I argue that thinking of olfactory experiences as making the subject aware of topological properties enables us to address popular objections against the spatiality of smells, and it makes sense of everyday spatial olfactory phenomenology better than its competitors. I argue for this latter claim on the basis of reflection on thought experiments familiar from the philosophical literature on olfaction, as well as on the basis of some empirical data about the localization of smells. I conclude by suggesting how the naïve-topology framework could be applied in debates about the spatiality of other types of experiences.

空间体验和嗅觉：朴素拓扑的作用

在本文中，我根据拓扑特性对嗅觉体验的空间性进行了说明。我认为，将嗅觉体验视为使主体意识到拓扑特性，使我们能够解决对气味空间性的普遍反对意见，并且它比其竞争对手更能理解日常空间嗅觉现象学。我基于对嗅觉哲学文献中熟悉的思想实验的反思以及关于气味定位的一些经验数据来支持后一种说法。最后，我提出了如何将朴素拓扑框架应用于有关其他类型体验的空间性的辩论。
