Attribution problem

I do not believe the citation to Francis Bacon is accurate, even though it has been repeated in many places on the internet -- it does not seem to appear in any of his publications, including The Great Instauration, Novum Organum, etc. I believe the source is actually Nietzsche, which is more plausible given the wordplay. The misunderstanding seems to trace to page 46 of the book "The Scientific Background to Modern Philosophy: Selected Readings" (edited by Michael R. Matthews), where the relevant Bacon quote is *described* using the phrase "immaculate perception," but the description is not a quotation from Bacon himself. Accordingly, I am going to delete the attribution to Bacon.Njarl (talk) 01:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Also, the claim that it is a "nickname for Plato's philosophy" is a bit confusing -- Plato is certainly a target of Nietzsche's use in Zarathustra, so this shouldn't be considered a *separate* meaning. Njarl (talk) 01:45, 21 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
