First off, science requires metaphysics & epistemology to truly prove/disprove facts, laws, theories, and hypotheses. Evidence means nothing to a mere idealist and reason means nothing to a mere materialist.
Second, I propose that axiology is a science, that aesthetics and ethics are not matters of opinion but are intersubjectively inherent.
So then the only hindrance to philosophy being entirely realized as science is with empowered idiots and bad actors who have been poisoning the well.
