(redirected from epiphenomenally)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Epiphenomenon 

an adjunct to a phenomenon; a secondary phenomenon that accompanies other phenomena but has no influence on them. Some adherents of voluntarism, such as E. von Hartmann and F.

Huxley, viewed it as a consequence of the activity of the higher nervous system.
