The verbal gesture here examinated, the amen, can be assumed as a paradigm of the gesture in general: with a word it lays down the language (saying nothing more than the text that precedes it) and concludes the enunciation, producing a particular expressive modulation. In this it presents a close formal connection with the Mystical in Wittgenstein’s Tractatus, which is not proposed as a feeling related to one of the facts of the world, but as an emotional tone related to the overall view of the world sub specie aeterni.
