Metaphysical Possibility
1902 | Possibility, Impossibility, and Possible | DPP 2:315; CP 6.371
Metaphysical possibility ought to mean a possibility of existence, nearly a potentiality; but the phrase does not seem to be used in that sense, but rather in the sense of possibility by supernatural power.
