Was Muhammad crazy? Probably. Mystics and prophets invariably are,or have chemical assistance or are simply frauds.(like say Joseph Smith and Helen Blavatski)
Quote:By our knowledge of schizophrenia, can we say that Mohammad would not have been able to function the way he did, if he was seeing an imaginary Angel that recited Quran (so it would be his subconscious creating Quran)?
You mean with YOUR knowledge of schizophrenia, which seems non existent.
There are four broad types of schizhophrenia,and symptoms can overlap. Cases also very in severity. It's entirely possible for a person to be say a paranoid schizophrenic and seem perfectly OK most of the time. He might occasionally/often claim to be hearing voices and/or seeing visions. Quite possible,even probable that this describes Muhammad.
Quote:Or is it actually medically possible to function the way Mohammad did and be hallucinating at the same time?
YES and not uncommon.
