It may be read simultaneously as praise for poetry and as a scathing critique of it. However, I contend in this paper that it is neither entirely favourable nor entirely unfavourable to poetry. Rather, the Ion seems to propose, albeit obliquely and with a generous amount of Socratic irony, a new, un-rhapsodic, philosophical model for the interpretation and evaluation of poetry. This model of poetic interpretation is presented as an alternative to the model immanent in the well-established practice of rhapsody as presented or painted in the dialogue.

I contend that aesthetic ideas, in spite of Kant's way of expli-cating them in those terms, are not mirror images, sensible counterparts or translations of intellectual or rational ideas. Rather, they have independent life. They present what cannot be available by any other means and thereby make a poem (or an artwork in general) a unique, singular, insubstitutable individual. This reading of the notion can shed a different light on Kant's view that a poem should look like nature. If we focus on Kant's description of ''genius'' as a source of aesthetic ideas, this seemingly mysterious concept begins to make a nuanced sense: concepts of genius and aesthetic ideas are what I call ''medium-centric'' notions. To write a poem is to play upon the medium and discover aesthetic ideas; a poet who can achieve this is or has genius.
