Almost all aspects of social life of this beloved nation and country tended to be colonized including for the academicians that up to now have still been subduing and been kneeling under the influence of western epistemology. Therefore, in the case of obtaining the independence of thinking academically to develop the charitable science and scientific charity, we had to strive to think well to formulate the paradigmand alternative epistemologyaccording to the socio-psychological and socio-anthropological of our own nation and country. In addition to the urgent independence demand for thinking academically, it also still opened the opportunity to develop a prophetic based methodology discourse. The reason was that, there is still an empty space that has not been filled yet in the context of methodological compilation,so that it enabled that a new methodology emerges in the future. As the first step to construct a prophetic paradigm, we had to formulate the philosophical foundation in the context of ontology, epistemology, and axiology in social science itself. However, apart from the complexity of the abovementioned philosophical and paradigmatic foundations, this paper offered several strategic phases towards the discourse of metaphysical realism to begin to develop alternative methodologies within the circle of postmodernism problematics.

Hampir semua aspek kehidupan sosial bangsa dan negara tercinta ini cenderung dijajah termasuk para akademisi yang sampai sekarang masih tunduk dan berlutut di bawah pengaruh epistemologi barat. Oleh karena itu, dalam hal memperoleh kemandirian berpikir secara akademis untuk mengembangkan ilmu amal dan amal ilmiah, diperlukan paradigma dan epistemologi alternatif sesuai dengan sosio-psikologis dan sosio-antropologis bangsa. Selain tuntutan kemandirian yang mendesak untuk berpikir secara akademis, masih terbuka peluang untuk mengembangkan wacana metodologi berbasis kenabian. Masih  ada ruang kosong dalam konteks kompilasi metodologis yang memungkinkan  metodologi baru muncul di masa depan. Sebagai langkah pertama untuk membangun paradigma profetik adalah merumuskan landasan filosofis dalam konteks ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi dalam ilmu sosial. Makalah ini menawarkan beberapa fase strategis menuju wacana realisme metafisik untuk mengembangkan metodologi alternatif dalam lingkaran problematika postmodernisme.
