The challenges of humanism in the face of the closure of the millenniumroposed with the humanism of the 21st century.

Abstract

Without the aim of going into debate about when the millennium ends or begins, the truth is that guarismo 2000 drags with it the idea of a new time. Whether this is the start or the end of the millennium, what does is a marked digital change from the three nines to the three zeros.
As to whether or not the date of the Gregorian calendar is wrong, 800 personalities (scientists, university and others) from the Spanish-speaking world have drafted and signed a document circulating online: http://manifiesto2000.astored.org, known as Manifesto 2000, clarifying that the third millennium and the 21st century will not begin until January 1, 2001. It seems that the confusion lies in the fact that in the Christian age there was no zero year; the Romans lacked a symbol for zero.
