His (tentative and ancillary) neurological conjectures haven't worked out. The main ideas have not been engaged with or found wanting;there is no prevailing theory of consciousness, and psychology as taught and practiced in the US is laughably reductionistic and has never shaken off the influence of behaviorism. Western science treats the brain as an organ amounting to little more than a set of synaptic reflexes to be either drugged or trained. A 'healthy' mind is is equated with an untroubled economically productive one, and there's no real theory of experience or identity.
Thinkers like Sacks, Dennett, and Hofstatder are well-respected but have little visible influence on the practice of psychology, and the field as a whole is treated as a sideshow in the intellectual carnival. Admittedly the Us does not have a strong public intellectual discourse so I may be looking innovative thinkers who are confined to the academy and have difficulty reaching a wider audience.
