Although some early figures such as György Lukács and Antonio Gramsci were prominent in political activities,[2] Western Marxism mainly found its adherents in academia, especially after the Second World War.[3] Prominent figures included Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse. After the Second World War, a French Western Marxism was constituted by theorists based around the journals Arguments, Les Temps Modernes and Socialisme ou Barbarie such as Lucien Goldmann, Henri Lefebvre, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre.[1] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6126.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6126.txt
