 Though Marty’s psychological approach differs from that of many other philosophers of language in the late nineteenth century as well as the early twentieth, one of the reasons why his work has been neglected by philosophers lies in their turn away from psychological considerations, as this can already be seen in Husserl’s critique of “psychologism” (Husserl 1900) and also in Frege’s anti-psychologistic work on logic and language, which has had an especially profound effect on a good many philosophers in the twentieth century and into the present one. (As regards the possibility of related charges of “mentalism” and “introspectionism”, see Rollinger 2008: 73–86.) During his lifetime he had already been under suspicion from the Neo-Kantian camp as a proponent of psychologism, though he vehemently insisted that he did not succumb to such a tendency in any invidious sense such as the one formulated by Husserl (Marty 1908a, 6–18). Above all, it must be remembered that for Husserl psychologism entailed relativism. Both Marty and Brentano pointed out that their applications of psychology in philosophy in no way involved relativism (Brentano 1925, 179–183). In view of the fact that consciousness and specific cognitive operations, particularly with an interest in intentionality, have become thematic in recent decades, it seems to be quite in order to take a new look at Marty’s philosophy of language as not entirely unrelated to the philosophical landscape of our times.
