I see puzzling as a middle term between thinking (Descartes, nominalism, psychologism) and action or expression which I take to be the real things that we actually do (in my understanding pragmaticism. Puzzling is what we do in the index phase. It is where we acknowledge the tentativity of what we do. But it is also WHAT we do so it has merit. The actions or expressions are the third and they are carried out in Triadic Philosophy by including as a coda to the index the Keats nostrum truth is beauty, beauty truth. Cheers, S
