Biography

Marty was a student and follower of Franz Brentano, his teacher at the University of Würzburg in 1868–70. He was ordained in 1870 but resigned from priesthood in 1872.

He taught at the Franz-Josephs-Universität Czernowitz (Austria-Hungary) from 1875 to 1880 and after that at the University of Prague (Austria-Hungary) where from 1895 to 1897 he was twice rector.

The Prague School linguists were influenced by his works.[2] Franz Kafka attended his philosophy lectures while at the University of Prague.[3]
