N2 - This paper builds upon the two concepts ‘thresholds of sense’ and ‘moral normativity’ – from Brinkmann and Innis as the essence of understanding meaning-making, perception and interpretation of life as embodied mental processes in the intersection between cultural psychology and philosophy. To live and make meaning of life as embodied does though also incorporate biology. There will be put a notion on the separation between psychology, philosophy and biology to unite these entities as to make sense of embodied meaning-making in life. A separation that unites as to make meaning as embodied will be incorporated in the description of a Semiotic Skin as a skin-on-the-skin, which holds a flux of information. Conceptualization of the flux across the Semiotic Skin is emerging in the intersection between psychology, philosophy and biology and hence becomes the essence of meaning-making and constant reflection between a self-reflecting system and semiosis. This becomes the foundation from where the theory of the Semiotic Skin emerges. The Semiotic Skin will be described as the holder of expressions of culture, communication, protection and one’s self in the sense of psychology, philosophy and biology as to register and control hierarchies of signs in the process of meaning-making and identity.
