The 2017 film The Three Christs of Ypsilanti tells the story of a psychiatrist at a mental hospital in Ypsilanti, Michigan in the 1950’s. Three patients diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia claim to be Jesus Christ. One of the patients, known as Joseph, claims to remember events from the life of Jesus, including his execution by crucifixion.
If Joseph claim to remember events such as the Miracle of the Loaves and the Fishes and Wedding Feast at Cana, according to the memory view, isn’t Joesph the same person as Jesus Christ? Is this a problem? If so, is this problem decisive or is there any way to fix the problem (and adapt the memory view)?
