晚清民初文化思潮和社会政治是杜亚泉调和思想产生的背景。其内容包括新旧文化调和与中西文明调和。新旧文化调和主要包括道德和文学两个方面。他坚持道德改良主义,提倡文言与白话并立分工的观点。中西文明调和是指“静”、“动”不同性质的文明之间应当取长补短,发展创新。 Cultural Trend of Thought and Social Politics in the Late Qing Dynasty and Early Republic of China were the backgrounds in which Du Yaquan reconciled his thoughts. Its contents include the reconciliation of old and new cultures and the reconciliation of Chinese and Western civilizations. Reconciliation of old and new culture mainly includes two aspects of morality and literature. He insists on moral reformism and advocates the division of labor between classical Chinese and vernacular. The reconciliation of Chinese and Western cultures means that “civilizations” of different nature should learn from each other’s strengths to promote development and innovation.
