The expression immaculate perception was used by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his text Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It pertains to the so-called "pure knowledge" that purportedly circumvents the need for ground body. It can also refer to the idea that some perspectives are more immaculate than others  .
