	abstract = {Scientific realism is a positive epistemic attitude towards the content of our best theories/models recommending belief in both observable and unobservable aspects of the world described by the sciences. This attitude has important metaphysical dimension. It is committed to the mind-independent existence of the world investigated by the sciences (Chakravartty 2013). In his papers <i>Mathematics and Experience</i> (2009) and <i>Mathematics and Reality</i> (2011) Ladislav Kvasz holds a position of instrumental realism. Kvasz claims that reality is instrumentally constituted and realism issue should be understood as a relation between two languages instead of world-language relation. Kvasz{\textquoteright}s instrumental realism also suggests to build up an ontology of distinctions instead of an ontology of fillings. The paper deals with Kvasz{\textquoteright}s version of instrumental realism critically and it aims to show that Kvasz{\textquoteright}s position is much closer to antirealism than to scientific realism because it does not meet the metaphysical dimension.},
