REALISM: In the sense used here it is the realistic thought according to which the ultimate stuff of everything belongs to the outside world, to what may be perceived by our human senses, or may be inferred from such sensory data through logical analysis. Realism oppose, therefore, to idealism.
METAPHYSICAL REALISM: Is the realistic point of view that takes at first idealism as refuted simply by denying incoming validity to any idealistic propositions. Its main thesis, however, is not itself empirically testable, then be called metaphysical. In spite of the fact that everyday life data point out in such a direction, the choice of ontological realism must be a transcendental one.
INSTRUMENTAL REALISM: Since the natural sciences can not but refer to the world of sensory beings, they are said to take realism as a working tool, as a hypothesis whose full demonstration one gives up, because it is outside the sphere of a human possible experience. That is, it is a hypothesis whose final proof remains a transcendental task and is stated here merely as a logical residuum.
