    I believe this was a question Jon posed near the end of our last (3rd) class and I believe the answer is yes. Intrinsicism is the view that concepts are intrinsic in reality ie apart from consciousness and that knowledge is the grasp of an object through the passive absorption of revelations.Subjectivism is the view that concepts represent phenomena of consciousness apart from existence and that knowledge is the creation of an object through the active inner processes of the subject. But, with intrinsicism, where else could the “concepts out there in reality” come from but from the mind of a supernatural consciousness eg God. Thus, whatever was in the mind of the supernatural consciousness is the real. So, the only difference between the two is which mind – God’s or ours.
