本研究是一种尝试，以重建佳能的Polykleitos的哲学和实用的几何原则，可在Polykleitos自己的时间框架内，并展示了对应的重建那不勒斯Doryphelos。据推测，波利克莱托斯选择了人体的一个特定部分，小指的远端指骨，作为他的系统的基本模块，并根据他对自然的观察建立了它的长度和宽度，他用它作为确定人体所有比例的出发点。通过应用最基本的概念希腊几何比，比例，对称性，他制定了一个系统，其中使用的几何平均数在连续的进展。这位雕刻家的简单实用的程序不需要数学计算。它可以在很短的时间内完成，只用一条绳子与结在它。古代文学来源的佳能只揭示了一个模糊的知识，其系统和未能欣赏其彻底的几何特征。
The present study is an attempt to reconstruct the Canon of Polykleitos within the framework of the philosophical and practical principles of geometry available in Polykleitos's own time and to demonstrate the correspondence of this reconstruction to the Naples Doryphoros. It is proposed that Polykleitos chose a specific member of the human body, the distal phalange of the little finger, as a basic module for his system, and after establishing a length and width for it based on his observation of nature, he used it as a point of departure for determining all the proportions of the human figure. By applying the most basic concepts of Greek geometry—ratio, proportion, symmetria—he developed a system which used a geometric mean in continuous progression. The sculptor's simple, practical procedure required no mathematical calculation. It could have been completed in a short time using only a piece of cord with knots tied in it. The ancient literary sources on the Canon reveal only a vague knowledge of its system and fail to appreciate its thoroughly geometric character.
