Wilhelm's first publication (at the age of 19) dealt with Socrates and Plato's idea of divinity ("Socrates und Plato über die Gottheit") in which he defended the enlightenment ideal of natural religion.
After Napoleon's decisive victory at Jena and Auerstedt and the resulting collapse of Prussia Humboldt returned to Germany in the fall of 1808 and reluctantly accepted the position as head of the section for ecclesiastic affairs and education in the ministry of the interior.
