The present essay aims to expand the study of self-motionconcept as thebasis for responsible Physical Education. From a phenomenological-hermeneutic reading, it is worth highlighting two primary authors on theanthropological bases of human movement within the Gestaltkreis. FromViktor von Weizsäcker, results show that there are new foundations for adifferentiated intervention in the healtharea called medical anthropology, andwith the central axis in perception-movement. Then, from Paul Christian, a newunderstanding of the human being that moves in the intentionality emerges.Given these findings, it is possible to suggest topics for teachers’ training andfor the development of school projects, with didactic arrangements wherechildren and youth may follow the paradigm of salutogenesis, unlike thehegemonic pathogenesis. Also, it is worth suggesting that the educational goalcan be the relationships in the world at healthy levels, and the axis may be thesense of lifein movement.
