perfect being

Flawless supreme existence

A perfect being is an entity possessing all possible excellences without flaw or limitation—typically God or a philosophical ideal.

The concept appears in theology and philosophy, particularly in arguments for God's existence: A perfect being would necessarily exist, since existence is a perfection.

The phrase assumes perfection can be coherently attributed to a single being, which some philosophers dispute.
