 After their initial success with Wolff’s expulsion, Lange and the Pietists suffered diminished influence at the Prussian court. By contrast, the affair only served to burnish Wolff’s European reputation. In Prussia, Wolff’s works on metaphysics and practical philosophy were added to the list of atheist books, but he now saw himself as speaking to Europeans, not merely Germans, and began a series of Latin works, commencing with the Philosophia rationalis sive logica (Latin Logic) in 1728. Friedrich Wilhelm I seemed to think better of his precipitous decision and invited Wolff to return to Prussia in 1733, an invitation which Wolff declined. But the ban on his writings was reversed in 1734, and the verdict of an inter-confessional Prussian commission in 1737 vindicated Wolff’s philosophy of the charges levelled by the Pietists. The crown prince (later Friedrich II) was an enthusiastic booster of Wolff at the court (and no friend of the Pietists), and with his ascension in 1740 he invited Wolff to return to Prussia. After turning down the proffered presidency of the Berlin Academy, Wolff returned to a professor- and vice-chancellorship in Halle to great acclaim, devoting his remaining time to completing his works on practical philosophy.
