Education

How do I become smarter? I want to read works from authors such as Locke, Plato, Aristotle, etc. But I do not know which books will lead me to understanding. Any help?

I don't think that reading anything at all with make you smarter, but anything by the authors you mention would be worth reading. Even if the language is difficult and unfamiliar, the effort to understand is both enjoyable and might raise all sorts of issues that you will enjoy thinking about.
