here since it didn't seem to be useful. Personally I wish that this was a topic that I knew nothing about, but tragically this is not the case.
What was wrong with my 'generally defined negatively by absence of insanity' - this seems to me to be one of the few things that most agree on, even if they can't agree on what sanity actually is. -- The Anome
The problem wasn't that sanity is the lack of insanity (which I've added). The problem was that the link incorrectly implied that sanity was synonymous with mental illness, which it is not. Sanity is not a medical term. It is a legal term. You can have extreme mental illness and still be considered quite sane.
