Summarize Argument

After defining knowledge as a true belief formed by a reliable process, the essayist concludes we would reject a person’s claim to know certain things because clairvoyance is not a reliable process. As evidence, the essayist states that if we were to believe in clairvoyance, we would accept a person’s claims of knowledge made on the basis of it.

Describe Method of Reasoning

The essayist describes an alternative reason why we would reject a person’s claim to know certain things by means of clairvoyance. He does this by shifting the reason for this belief from the claim that clairvoyance isn’t knowledge to the claim that clairvoyance is not a reliable process.
