In philosophy metaphysical debates are quite popular - all the "-ism"s are fighting one another. And many give good insights for every side of every debate. This seems like it can't be stopped, ever, especially since metaphysics is, by its nature, unanswerable by science. So technically it can't be "proven" or "disproven" (not even "falsified"), unless we find a deep logical error in it (though even then, some metaphysical claims are going to the realms beyond logic, so even that won't satisfy every metaphysical debate).
My question is, are we actually going somewhere with these questions that are as old as philosophy itself? I do feel we make incremental steps over the course of history, but it just doesn't seem like it can ever be concluded, and the whole subject looks highly subjective.
