Viennese paleobiologist Franz Unger, an outspoken liberal and materialist.

all that is spiritual with materialism, exceeds everything [else] in its harmfulness
[to the youth].” Die Neugestaltung, 20.

accused of expressing materialist outlooks in textbooks for the gymnasia and
removed from his chair in Prague in 1855. Constantin von Wurzbach, “Ludwig
Karl Schmarda,” in Biographisches Lexikon des Kaiserthums Oesterreich,
