Abstract
In the last chapter we saw that process reliabilism was confronted with several problems, at the foremost of which were the lack of a good answer to the New Evil Demon Problem and the Clairvoyance Problem. If reliability is indeed necessary and sufficient for the justification of a specific class of beliefs, then subjects misled by an evil demon are unjustified in their perceptual beliefs, while subjects forming beliefs on the basis of an extravagant but possibly reliable process, such as blindsight or clairvoyance, are justified in their beliefs. Given that we have the intuition that this consequence is false, it seems that process reliabilism must also be false. Process reliabilism is thus in need of a good way to accommodate the New Evil Demon Intuition and the Blindsight (and Clairvoyance) Intuition.
