We single out three major properties of agent-based computational economics (ACE), namely, autonomous agents, social interactions, and the micro-macro links, which have been well accepted by the ACE community. We then argue that ACE does make a full commitment to the ontology of economics as proposed by Lawson, based on his prompted critical realism. Nevertheless, the article also points out the current limitations or constraints of ACE. Efforts to overcome them are deemed to be crucial before ACE can make itself more promising to the current ontological turn in economics.-  Reproduced   aOntological turn, Agent-based modeling, Autonomous agents, Social interaction, Micro-macro link919614  aPhilosophy of The Social Sciences  aONTOLOGY  cAR  00102ddc40709388777aIIPAbIIPAd2020-12-12h50(3), Jun, 2020: p,238-259pAR123642r2020-12-12yAR
