Mana is the echo of real nature’s supremacy, not a projection.

Evidence

It is not the soul which is transposed to nature, as psychologism would have it; mana, the moving spirit, is no projection, but the echo of the real supremacy of nature in the weak souls of primitive men. — Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Dialectic of Enlightenment, 40

Categorization

• QUESTION: Adorno rejects the projection thesis for mana while later theses (Feuerbach, Freud) make projection central — worth chasing how he squares this.
