nowadays metaphysics can revert to a younger state, that is art, because science emancipated it from the necessity of being true while not being capable of truth by definition.
that doesn't mean it can ignore truth - in which case it would be no more than buffoonery and decadance - it means it can become again the aesthetic blossoming over the rock of truth (only, this time, truth will be a critical truth, and not a revelation).
Yes, I agree that metaphysics must again be tied to reality. Where before a consideration of ancient science could not be considered and any tie to reality had to occur strictly through agreement with modern scientific theory, now I believe, it will become possible to ground metaphysics in two sciences. Science might be founded on the bedrock of reality itself as determined by two sciences. These sciences can operate in tandem helping each other over hurdles.
We can't possibly understand modern theory in terms of ancient metaphysics but there's every likelihood that computers can manipulate such a language.
Tying metaphysics to reality might seem like religion to some but the resemblance is merely superficial.
