Abstract

Scientific Anti-realism is a philosophy of science for theunobservableentities which are not detectable with human senses such as electrons, DNA, the force of gravity, etc.,are the non-reality. The truth rests on its demonstrability through internal logic mechanisms. The unobservable truths are beyond the realm of scientific knowledge. There are two schools of thought on this philosophy; Scientific Instrumentalism which describesthere is no ultimate truth in science, the only thing we can say is which truth is the most appropriate to explain the certain phenomena. The other is Scientific Social Constructivism which mentioned science as products of human practices.
