it's a process, and thus far the only one that seems to work. It can't be very special (in the sense of "extraordinary") if it's what everyone who succeeds is doing. I usually see the phrase "ways to attain knowledge" in the context on anti-scientific woo, so it makes me a bit wary. Thus far I haven't seen a single "alternative" that holds water, but I've seen some that lead people to wrong conclusions, sometimes with dire consequences.
