This doesn't do much to convince me; for example in these bits you could substitute "philosophy" with "theology", and it would sound the same:

Because philosophy is a highly speculative discipline it isn't going to be following a normal scientific model, but instead will model constant discovery.

[...] It isn't in the business of scientific inquiry and it should not be. Some philosophers are still looking for universal truths after all. Simply disagreeing with the idea of a priori does not make it go away.

It is good that you recognise there are problems in philosophy. Too many people take it as dogma and do not question the area they have explored. My advice is to take what you can from the discipline well keeping in mind that every piece you take comes with a centuries long dialogue.

The bit about "take what you can" and "every piece comes with a centuries long dialogue" especially could be said of a lot of things (law, for example) and it's not clear why those are good things in themselves.
