Contemplation, Empowerment, Language

A certain experience of exaltation has prevalently been characterized by Philosophers as a moment of Contemplation, and, hence, as private, with respect to which any subsequent description of it is extrinsic.  In contrast, in recent centuries, there has been slowly emerging, e. g. in the works of Spinoza, Kant, and Nietzsche, an alternative interpretation of the experience--that it is a moment of Empowerment, an excitation the continuation of which is an attempt to communicate it, and, hence, that it is a phase of a fundamentally social experience, in the second phase of which the initial datum may be transformed, e. g. by a process of articulation.  So, despite Wittgenstein's perhaps unprecedented attention to Language, in #133 of the Investigations, when he alludes to "stopping doing philosophy" while not ceasing to discuss the stoppage, he reveals his concept of Philosophy to be in the Contemplationist tradition.  In that regard, his invocation of silence at the end of his philosophizing in the Tractatus is more conscientious.
