Conceiving the Inconceivable
<p>This episode discusses my latest book entitled "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08J856S4T/">Conceiving the Inconceivable</a>", 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.</p>

Mathematical Novelties in Vedic Philosophy
<p>In this episode we talk about a number of unique problems that arise in trying to make Vedic philosophy more rigorous in a logical and mathematical sense. I have been presenting some of these ideas while discussing the theories of creation, cosmology, linguistics, the nature of space and time, etc. But there is no single place where we have collected them so far. This is what this podcast achieves to do.</p>

Reason, Experience, and Authority
<p>In this episode, we will talk about the problem of epistemology or how do we know. We will go over some historical material regarding the methods of knowledge prevalent in Western philosophy and then look at the same problem from the perspective of Vedic philosophy. We discuss the problems of rationalism and empiricism in Western philosophy and then the metaphysics by which these problems are resolved in Vedic philoosphy making empiricism and rationalism valid methods of knowledge. We then talk about the use of authority to discover knowledge which is then verified by empricism and rationalism, and how discovery and verification are two different uses of reason and experience. Finally, we talk about the dogma of materialism within which modern science operates and how this dogma is guised as the preference toward reason and experience.</p>
