We are pleased to invite six contributed talks for a GAP Satellite Workshop &ldquo\;Similarity after Carnap - Perspectives from Philosophy and Cognitive Science&rdquo\;\, taking place right after the GAP.12 on 12th and 13th September at the Heinrich-Heine-University Dü\;sseldorf. The event aims to bring together researchers from philosophy and psychology to discuss the development of the concept of similarity following Carnap&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Aufbau&rdquo\;\, the subsequent famous criticism by Nelson Goodman and its influence on psychological theories. We welcome contributions to topics such as: \;
\n&bull\; Carnap&rsquo\;s conceptions of similarity (e.g\, recollection of similarity\, quality spaces\, analogical inference) \;
\n&bull\; The prospects and problems of quasi-analysis and related tools of similarity-based category formation in psychology and philosophy
\n&bull\; Goodman&rsquo\;s criticism against similarity and its influence on similarity concepts within cognitive science
\n&bull\; Tensions between different conceptions of similarity in philosophy and psychology (e.g.\, spatial accounts versus feature-matching)
\n&bull\; Advantages and limitations of explaining cognitive development in terms of similarity
