"Only skin deep," "getting under one's skin," "the naked truth" metaphors about the skin pervade the language even as physical embellishments and alterations--tattoos, piercings, skin-lifts, liposuction, tanning, and more--proliferate in Western culture. Claudia Benthien argues that despite medicine's having penetrated the bodily surface and exposed the interior of the body as never before, skin, paradoxically, has become a more and more unyielding symbol.

Benthien discusses the semantic and psychic aspects of touching, feeling, and intellectual She examines the changing significance of skin through brilliant analyses of literature, art, philosophy, and anatomical drawings and writings.
