Is Scientific realism as same as Scientism?
gpt
No. "Scientific realism" is roughly the view that scientific theories are generally true and/or aim at truth. 

"Scientism," if it refers to anything at all, is the view that science is the *sole* provider of truth. Oversimplifying slightly: not only are scientific theories generally true, but everything else---art, literature, lived experience, etc.---is false.
