Hi. What's the difference between: Herbert Marcuse was one who accepted this position and Herbert Marcuse was one of those who accepted this position and Herbert Marcuse was the one who accepted this position?
Thanks in advance

The last one means that only one person (Marcuse) accepted the position. The first two imply that others also accepted it.
