Page "Christian Wolff (philosopher)" Paragraph 6

On 12 July 1723 Wolff held a lecture for students and the magistrates at the end of his term as a rector.

Wolff compared, based on books by the Belgian missionaries François Noël ( 1651-1729 ) and Philippe Couplet, Moses, Christ and Mohammed with Confucius.

According to Voltaire professor August Hermann Francke had been teaching in an empty classroom but Wolff attracted with his lectures around 1, 000 students from all over.

In the following up Wolff was accused by Francke of fatalism and atheism.
