"Ahab is the sanest of men" is a short essay by Karl Jones.

Ahab is the sanest of men

Captain Ahab was supremely competent in his pursuit of Moby-Dick.

If sanity consists in reaching a goal — in the case of hunting and killing whales with small boats and harpoons a notoriously difficult goal, demanding months, nay years, of hard pursuit and constant privation, alternatingly despairing and hopeful, and ever relentless, and again and again perilous, with innumerable hazards and grievous loss of life and limb — then Ahab is the sanest of men.
