Markus Gabriel's I am Not a Brain is far better than his earlier works. But is this what philosophy of mind has devolved to?

Have you read An den grenzen der Erkenntnistheorie? (recently published in english by Polity press)

No, but the premise sounds intriguing. Stegmüller wrote a book on exactly the same topic. Should I read it?

As a (tentative) epistemologist that finds irritating how most people in analytic philosophy treat skepticism, that book has been like a breath of fresh air. I think it's Gabriel's best (haven't read everything he wrote though)

thanks, will check But even among analytic philosophers there are people who think the diverse of toolbox of skepticism can be emancipative, ex. Metaphysik-Skepsis-Wissenschaft.

Stegmüller is an exception, and a quite old one. If you take a look at contemporary epistemology you'll see that skepticism is either dismissively misrepresented, treated very negatively (e.g. Huemer) or even not engaged with at all (e.g. knowledge-firsters)

Yes, I know but there are of course some striking exceptions, Thodoris Dimitrakos and Andrei Chitu for example.
