No and it never will. At least not ever recognized by the public, which would be the true deciding factor. 'Personal Relevance' doesn't count

Christianity has buttfucked numerous indigenous cultures into oblivion. Islam has the kill the infidel thing. Fascism, communism, and Nazism, have accomplished wonderful things too. Ayn Rand has bamboozled countess millions of delusional sheeple. Jim Jones had that little "drink the poison koolaid cult" back in the day. (praise be, jeebus!) If you look for it, you'll find it.

Well, John Locke, Hobbes and Kant pretty much decided what the legal systems and social contracts are.
Honestly, Kant is the most relevant person in the world in terms of how everything that came after the VIII Century is either in agreement or refuting him. From Politics, to Morals, to Epistemology (and thus Science).
