Amodal completion is the representation of those parts of the perceived object that we get no sensory stimulation from. While amodal completion is rife and plays an essential role in all sense modalities, philosophical discussions of this phenomenon have almost entirely been limited to vision. The aim of this paper is to examine in what sense we can talk about amodal completion in olfaction. We distinguish three different senses of amodal completion – spatial, temporal, and feature-based completion – and argue that all three are present and play a significant role in olfaction.

嗅觉 Amodal 完成

Amodal 完成是我们没有从中获得感官刺激的感知对象的那些部分的表示。虽然无模态完成很普遍，并且在所有感觉模态中都起着至关重要的作用，但对这一现象的哲学讨论几乎完全局限于视觉。本文的目的是检验我们可以在什么意义上谈论嗅觉中的模态完成。我们区分了三种不同的非模态补全——空间补全、时间补全和基于特征的补全——并认为这三者都存在并在嗅觉中发挥着重要作用。
