I think what's missing is a science of the boundaries of science itself, i.e. of what we could never learn through the scientific method; the structural gaps that must exist, not as an obstacle to be mounted later, but as the essential price of doing research, or as the cognitive limits of human (instrumental) reasoning.
It seems that Quantum physics has formulated some such "unknowables", and of course, there's always Gödel's theorem. But we should perhaps go further, and lose that "godlike" character that science now sometimes enjoys.
