Canon (basic principle)

The concept of canon is very broad; in a general sense it refers to being one (adjectival) or a group (noun) of official, authentic or approved rules or laws, particularly ecclesiastical; or group of official, authentic, or approved literary or artistic works, such as the literature of a particular author, of a particular genre, or a particular group of religious scriptural texts [1], or similarly, one or a body of rules, principles, or standards accepted as axiomatic and universally binding in a religion, or a field of study or art.[2] This can be related to such topics as literary canons, a topic within itself, for which see canon (disambiguation)#Literature.

There is also the concept of the canons of rhetoric, including five key principles, which when grouped together, are the principles set for giving speeches as seen with regard to rhetoric. This is one such example of how the term canon is used in regard to rhetoric.[3][4][5][6][7]
