(10330) Durkheim Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 8 April 1991 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
Émile Durkheim (1858-1917) was convinced that ethical and social structures were endangered by the advent of technology and mechanization. In 1895 he proposed an educational reform, Les Règles de la méthode sociologique, that could avoid the perils of social disconnectedness.Naming citation (20000320/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
