The ideal is defined as the 'representation' of an individual existence as adequate to an idea in §17.
The representation is analyzed into two components: normal idea and rational idea, where a normal idea is a representation (as an individual intuition) of the standard representative of one kind, while a rational idea stands for a concept which we can never find an adequate intuition.

For exemple, the ideal cup is an
{COMPONENT1 imagined representation of an individual existance-- by which we in a linguistic community judge an instance of cup as a cup intuitively--} as
{COMPONENT2 adquate to the idea CUP (perhaps I am allowed to put it this way, the soul, the function of the cup as the cup is thought for)-- by which we in a linguistic community judge an instance of cup as a cup conceptually--}.
And then let's see how Kant put this:
The ideal of beauty has two components. The first is the aesthetic standard idea, "which is an individual intuition (of the imagination) by which we present the standard for judging [human being] as a thing belonging to a particular animal species"; the second is the rational idea: "which makes the purposes of humanity, insofar as they cannot be presented in sensibility, [i.e.], the principle for judging his [or her] figure, which reveals these purposes, as their effect in apprearance. (§ 17))
