You are expressing a belief. I think metaphysics is not dead at all. For instance the reduction of reality to the physical, and I have the impression that this your point of view, is a metaphysical point of view. There is nothing in science that will proof you that this reality is only physical. You assume this reality is only physical. Materialism is a metaphysical standpoint.

Btw, 'metaphysical' can also mean 'Laws and Constants'. Aristotle would love it. And Plato would go through the roof!
