Removing NOLOGGING and not explicitly designating LOGGING

Question

We have a table that was created similar to:
create table aTableName
( col1 integer,
colN
) tablespace someName nologging;
Is there an alter command that will put the status of logging for the table the same as if it were created
create table aTableName
( col1 integer,
colN
) tablespace someName;
Also, are there three states for logging:
1. LOGGING
2. NOLOGGING
3. (undefined)
I think I am asking to put logging in the third (undefined) state?

ALTER TABLE table_name [NO]LOGGING;

No, there is only LOGGING or NOLOGGING. Just open docs and you will see that default value is LOGGING. So if you create table without specifying LOGGING/NOLOGGING table will be created with LOGGING:
SQL> create table test_logging(x number)
  2  /
Table created.
SQL> select  logging
  2    from  user_tables
  3    where table_name = 'TEST_LOGGING'
  4  /
LOG
YES
SQL> SY.
