propositional
Concerning logical statements
Propositional means relating to or expressed as a proposition—a statement that asserts something true or false.
The term appears most often in logic and philosophy: propositional logic, propositional knowledge.
A propositional attitude is a mental state (belief, desire, doubt) directed toward a proposition: She believes that it will rain.
