Entity realism is a philosophical position within the debate about scientific realism . Whereas traditional scientific realism argues that our best scientific theories are true, or approximately true, or closer to the truth than their predecessors, entity realism does not commit itself to judgments concerning the truth of scientific theories. Instead, entity realism claims that the theoretical entity entities that feature in scientific theory theories , e.g. electron s , should be regarded as real if and only if they refer to phenomena that can be routinely used to create effects in domains that can be investigated independently. Manipulative success thus becomes the criterion by which to judge the reality of typically unobservable scientific entities. As Ian Hacking , the main proponent of this formulation of entity realism, puts it referring to an experiment he observed in a Stanford laboratory, where electrons and positrons were sprayed, one after the other, onto a superconductor superconducting metal sphere , if you can spray them, then they are real. ref Hacking, I Representing and Intervening , page 24. Cambridge University Press, 1983. ref Entity realism has been an influential position partly because it coincided with a general trend in philosophy of science, and science studies more generally, to downplay the role of theories and put more emphasis on experiment ation and scientific practice. Thus, entity realism sometimes is also called instrumental realism or experimental realism ref Resnik, D Hacking s Experimental Realism , Canadian Journal of Philosophy Vol. 24 1994 395 412. ref .
