Peirce’s Scientific Metaphysics is the first book devoted to understanding Charles Sanders

Peirce’s (1839–1914) metaphysics from the perspective of the scientific questions that

motivated his thinking. Deftly situating Peirce’s often original and pathbreaking ideas

within their appropriate historical and scientific contexts, Reynolds traces his reliance

upon the law of large numbers, which illustrated for Peirce the emergence of a stable

order and regularity from a multitude of chance events, throughout his writings on late

nineteenth-century physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, and cosmology. Along the way,

Peirce’s vision of an indeterministic and evolutionary cosmology is contrasted with the

thought of other important late nineteenth-century scientists and philosophers, such as

James Clerk Maxwell, Ludwig Boltzmann, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Herbert Spencer,

Charles Darwin, and Ernst Haeckel.

While offering a detailed account of the scientific ideas and theories essential for

understanding Peirce’s metaphysical system (e.g., the irreversibility of time and the

reversibility of physical laws, the statistical law of large numbers), this book is

written in a manner accessible to the non-specialist. This will make it especially

attractive to students of Peirce’s philosophy who lack familiarity with the scientific and

mathematical ideas that are so central to his thought. Those with an interest in the

history and philosophy of science, especially concerning the application of statistical

and probabilistic thinking to physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, and cosmology, will

find this discussion of Peirce’s philosophy invaluable.
