Have you read postmodern philosophy? Even though one may not agree at all with the postmodern view, it is necessary to read them in order to make sense and be able of saying what metaphysics must be as you do. Why must philosophy become science orientated? Anyway, that is already happening. Science is 'eating' philosophy, and that is consecuence of damn Husserl and his phenomenology. It doesn't matter which method we use, whether the logical positivists' method (which was to make a philosophy with scientific modes) or the postmoderns' method (which is to make a science with philosophical modes). Any method leads to the dissapearance in vacuum, vaporization in nothigness of the subjects and objects, entity and identity, core and cortex of those two areas of culture that give us our understanding.
