What is a "canon"?

A canon refers to a set of important rules, principles, or standards that are widely accepted in a particular field, such as art, literature, or philosophy. These accepted guidelines help determine what is considered essential or classic in that area. For example, in literature, the canon includes important works and authors that are recognized for their significant impact and quality. The concept of a canon helps shape what is studied, admired, and valued in that field, often influencing how new work is created, evaluated, and understood.
