Grover, D. L. on Everything he said is true - Dictionary of Arguments
Horwich I 336 Everything he said is true/Prosentential Theory/CGB/Camp, Grover, Belnap: "Everything John says is true." (4) This is true for each proposition, when John says that it is true, then it is true. This should not be understood as: "When John said that Snow is white, is true, then it is true that snow is white." I 337 Because then the "it" from (4) is understood as the anaphora (pronoun). Rather the instances are phrases like e.g. "If John said that snow is white, then it is true that snow is white." Here "it is true" is taken as the anaphora (and that is a prosentence). See >Prosentential Theory, >Anaphora._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
