He was born on 21 February 1804 in Romaniv near Lviv. He attended the Linde high school in Warsaw and later a school run by the Piarists in Żoliborz. He abandoned studies at the University of Warsaw to participate in the November Uprising. After the uprising, Supiński emigrated to France and stayed there until 1844. He then decided to return to Lviv in order to take up a position at the Land Credit Society as a protégé of Prince Leon Sapieha. During that time, he contributed to many Lviv magazines. In 1860, Supiński published his Myśl ogólna fizjologii powszechnej [“General thoughts on universal physiology”]; shortly thereafter, in 1862 and 1865, he published two volumes of his most important work, which made him famous in Polish territories: Szkoła polska gospodarstwa społecznego [“Polish school of social economy”]. His writings made Supiński the precursor of Polish positivism. He died on 16 February 1893 in Lviv. His most important works included: Myśl ogólna fizjologii powszechnej [“General thoughts on universal physiology”], Lviv 1860; Szkoła polska gospodarstwa społecznego [“Polish school of social economy”], Lviv 1862–1865.
