Under the Jaina dialectic, on the contrary, each ‘moment' or alternative, of experience, is conserved alongside other ‘moments' in its distinctive individuality. In the total fabric of experience the 'moments' are, therefore, neither transcended nor annihilated but preserved, in all their distinctness, displaying a complex network of relation to other‘moments' of experience. We may, therefore, describe the Jaina dialectic as the disjunctive synthesis or the disjunctive dialectic. In virtue of these differences Hegelianism swings, despite its resemblance to Jainism in important respects as already noticed, to the side of the Sānkhya system and the other schools of philosophy in which difference of bheda is subordinated to identity or abheda.
