ideal (noun: concept, vision)

Usage Note

Ideal functions as both adjective and noun with identical form (el ideal de la democracia), and the plural ideales is regular. As a noun it readily names a political, ethical, or aesthetic principle one aspires to, a use a little broader than the English noun.
