The way you describe Plato as 'bronze-age' makes it seem like you've never read anything he wrote. I agree that many of his ideas are antiquated (most of his metaphysics, for example); yet, other ideas are still valid (like his theory of justice). While I agree that including Plato in this course is beating it to death, I don't agree that all philosophy classes should write off Plato as worthless.
