message: it's bizarre to have a quote from Chesterton in the leading paragraph. He is more of a comedian than a thinker, and his quip about sanity (no doubt in the service of a disingenuous critique of modern secular thought) is most likely not a serious part of the history of thought about this concept.

thread_title:  Chesterton 

message: In a similar vein to the above topic by Ineffabilliken, in which the writer used a very opinionated definition of sanity, there is a statement under the 'Law' section which reads: "It remains entirely impossible to prove sanity." Says who? Certainly not the courts who sometimes are tasked with proving the sanity of the accused.
While there may be a lot of debate, particularly in law, as to whether sanity is provable, the contrary statement that it is impossible to prove is decidedly more improvable. I would consider revising the statement to something like: "There is some disagreement as to whether or not it is possible to prove sanity." Quite possibly there's even a credible article to lend evidence to the claim that there is disagreement. There may even even be a court case in which a judge ruled that sanity couldn't be adequately defined for the purposes of convicting the accused.
At any rate, this article is, ironically, lacking in sanity. Knighthsilgne (talk) 22:40, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
