Conceiving the Inconceivable

This episode discusses my latest book entitled "Conceiving the Inconceivable", and topics surrounding the understanding of Vedanta philosophy, with special regard to the achintya-bheda-abheda understanding given by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The central contentious issue is whether reality is achintya or inconceivable, and if so, why should a book exist about something that cannot be understood? The short answer to that problem is that inconceivability arises due to the use of conventional logic, which is based on the distinctness of physical objects. The same reality becomes conceivable when we describe this world as concepts, however, the logic associated with this reality now violates the principles of classical logic, namely, the notions of identity (if A is B, then B is A), non-contradiction (both A and not-A cannot be true), mutual exclusion (both A and not-A can be false, or at least one of them must be true). The new logic of concepts requires us to admit new categories of "both" and "neither", which makes this logic counterintuitive. But this problem is not unique to the understanding of soul and God, and applies to everything in Vedic philosophy -- e.g. the understanding of material elements, the mind-body problem (or the soul-body problem), meaning in ordinary language, and so forth.
