BHA: CR & Formal Ontology



Hi List,
I wonder if anyone could enlighten me on the compatability of
CR and realist Formal Ontology as based on Brentano-Husserl-
Polish School.
Christopher Norris talks about 'truth-makers' in his
philosophy: ontological entities that make true by virtue of
their existence.  This is a big mainstay of the so-called
Austrian tradition which is obsessed with formal & material
ontology, and part, whole, moment mereology.
I think CR would find much of interest here.  The problem is
the hyper-realist and sometimes reductivist nature of most
Austrian Aristotelianism.  Many of its defenders are famously
methodological individualists and employed by conservative
think-tanks (Von Mises, Von Hayek, von Hildebrand, etc.).
Any opinions would be very much appreciated!
Yours,
Ian
