Anton Marty (October 18, 1847–October 1, 1914) was a philosopher of language, psychologist, and ontologist. Marty’s philosophical work is distinct especially as an application of Brentano’s descriptive psychology to the study of language in opposition to many of the prominent currents in linguistics and philosophy of language during his time. Marty’s philosophy of language is accordingly outstanding as a reflection on linguistic phenomena as essentially intentional. As Brentano characterized philosophy as including all the disciplines which involve descriptive psychology, Marty did the same. On this view, philosophy encompasses at least three practical disciplines, namely logic (concerned with what judgments should be made), aesthetics (concerned with what ideas or, as we shall say, presentations we should have), and ethics (concerned with what to love and what to hate). As regards the theoretical branches of philosophy, Brentano and Marty considered them to be descriptive psychology itself and also metaphysics.
