Examples

  • In the assertorical, we regard the proposition as real (true); in the apodeictical, we look on it as necessary.

    Blowing Hot and Cold Coetzee, J.M. 1997

  • The apodeictical proposition cogitates the assertorical as determined by these very laws of the understanding, consequently as affirming a priori, and in this manner it expresses logical necessity.

    The Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant 1764

  • Now because all is here gradually incorporated with the understanding -- inasmuch as in the first place we judge problematically; then accept assertorically our judgement as true; lastly, affirm it as inseparably united with the understanding, that is, as necessary and apodeictical -- we may safely reckon these three functions of modality as so many momenta of thought.
