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 or  a point of view that is not subject to error. Concept The term was  title of one of Zarathustra's speeches, Von der unbefleckten Erkenntnis, which literally means "On Immaculate Knowledge" or "On Immaculate Cognition. It was Walter Kaufmann who translated it as "On Immaculate Perception" . Other scholars also prefer this translation because the main metaphor in the passage is visual perception. Nietzsche used immaculate perception in his interrogation of the myths of purity. Nietzsche, for instance, argued that immaculate perception is mere fiction because it ignores the intimate connection between the perceiver and the external world. According to the philosopher, perception is value-laden and ruled by interest . In particular, it denies the important role that the will and desires of the perceiver have on every perception.Metcalfe, Michael.

Applications An example of  immaculate perception principle is Sigmund Freud's theory of mental representation  or what some also refer to "copy theory of perception". He proposed that perception, which he often used interchangeably with "external reality", is sensory given and immediately known to the subject . Therefore , it essentially involves the passive and temporary registration of an object. Nietzsche 's criticism of this "pure perception" argues that human perceptions are not mere copies of the images on the retinas. He maintained that perception is not clean or untainted by the object of perception. People "actively" construct perceived information as sensory modalities select and tend to simplify phenomena so that they merely serve one's interest and need.
