Benjamin Franklin’s reputation is so much one of appearing scientific investigation with commonsense empiricism that it is somewhat startling to realize how speculative the great experiment’s mentoring truly was.
1. so much 是程度副词，作状语。
2. one 是替代词，指前文的reputation。
3. of appearing scientific investigation 是介词短语，作 one 的定语，说明 “名声来自某方面或范围” ，意思是：“名声是用知识经验主义进行科学调查的结果”。appearing 是目前分词，作 scientific investigation 的定语。可理解为“肤浅可见的”。
4. that it is somewhat startling to realize how speculative the great experiment’s mentoring truly was：结果状语从句。因主句含有so much 程度状语，因而出现这个结果。
