Is empirical thinking a starting point for the development of theoretical thinking or does empirical thinking hinder the development of theoretical thinking? To contribute to the reflections around this debate, the present work aims to investigate how Brazilian researchers interpret the relationship between empirical thinking and theoretical thinking in Davídov in the context of Mathematics Education. This article presents the results of an organized study based on an integrative literature review. In the Davidovian perspective, theoretical thinking is based on dialectical logic and empirical thinking on formal logic. In this sense, the study is guided through a systematic search carried out in Google Scholar, using the descriptors: “traditional formal logic”, “dialectical logic”, “empirical thinking”, “theoretical thinking”, “mathematics” and “Davidov”. In the works analyzed there was little discussion about the specificity of logic and how this influence in the formation process of different types of thought, however, all corroborate with Davídov in the sense that empirical thinking hinders the development of theoretical thinking.
