We need not __(B)__ [define] the basic elements of Platonic thought to Platonic times, especially when we consider the roles and status of women in our own modern societies. Regarding this topic, Plato is surprisingly forward-thinking and appears in __(C)__ [dark] contrast to many contemporary currents of thought.
