assertory

The etymology of assertory takes us to latin assertorius. The concept is used in the field of philosophy to refer to a judgment that makes a statement or a negation as if it were true, even though it is not necessarily true.

It is possible to differentiate between assertive and apodictic. In the case of an apodictic trial, it is necessarily valid and unconditionally true, as detailed in the dictionary of the Spanish Academy Rea (RAE).

Expressing an assertive statement implies making a assertion: manifest the certainty of something. When someone makes an assertive proposition, affirms or denies what is communicated as true. It is important to note that since the assertive judgment is not necessarily true, it may incur a contradiction.

In short, an assertory proposition holds something that may or may not be real. Instead, an apodictic proposition is evidently valid or provable.

"Roger Federer won more titles than Rafael Nadal" it's a example of assertive judgment. Whoever makes this comment assures that the Swiss tennis player is more of a winner than the Spanish, without leaving room for doubt. In this case, the statement is true. But other assertive judgments are not true: "Uruguay has more inhabitants than Brazil", "Ferrari never made cars".

Apodictic trials, by contrast, can only be some or valid: "Three plus five equals eight". As you can see, it is not possible to contradict the statement from the logic because "Three plus five" is an operation that will always result "Equal to eight" and it's self-evident.
