N2 - The essay explores how Popper used 'critical interpretation' to interpret Plato, Hegel and Marx idiosyncratically as his 'war effort' polemic against fascism waged from forced exile in New Zealand during WWII. 'Critical interpretation' was a form of scientific 'critical rationalism' adapted to textual interpretation. Exile spurred Popper to fight. 'Critical interpretation' was his method of fighting. The Open Society and Its Enemies and The Poverty of Historicism were the weapons he forged.
