Abstract

Does the way we think about scientific entities matter to scientific practice? Does it make any difference to be realist or anti-realist about scientific entities such as quarks, electrons or nucleic acids? A complete answer to these questions would require a more detailed analysis, but there are some examples from the history of science that show that how we think about the world influences scientific practice.
