A number of philosophers have been interested in human waste and can be considered -- not meant in a derogatory way -- toilet philosphers. Among them are Georges Bataille, who was called and "excremental philosopher" by André Breton, Peter Sloterdijk in his remarks on the role of the arse in Critique of Cynical Reason and Slavoj Žižek in the The Pervert's Guide to Cinema.
