If scientific antirealists retreated to inductive skepticism, they would have to give up their positive philosophical views, such as constructive empiricism, the selectionist explanation, the contextual theory, and the permissive view of rationality. They would also have to give up their negative arguments against scientific realism, such as the pessimistic induction, the argument from a bad lot, and the argument from indifference. The local theory of induction generates inductive skepticism and thus undermines both scientific realism and antirealism.
