Abstract
Part of Kant's legacy to Peirce was a lasting conviction that metaphysics can and should be set on the secure path of a science. However, Peirce's understanding of metaphysics, unlike Kant's, uses the method of science, i.e., of experience and reasoning; but requires close attention to experience of the most familiar kind rather that recherche experience needed by the special sciences. This distinctively plausible reconstruction of what a genuinely scientific metaphysics would be is part of Peirce's legacy to philosophy today, enabling us to steer clear both of apriorism and scientism - the Scylla and Charybdis of recent metaphysics.
