There is also the sad idea that if you are uncertain what an aesthetic ideal is, you may be uncertain as to whether or not you have one, and be confusing it with the contents of department stores and art galleries.
Your usage there, Kate, suggests you know what an "aesthetic ideal' IS. Do you mean that?
