"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 of hard pursuit and constant privation, alternatingly despairing and hopeful, and always relentless — then Ahab is the sanest of men.
