Although the tragedies of Daniel Casper von Lohenstein (1635–83) are nowadays known mainly to specialists in the Baroque, they amply repay attention. Set in the ancient world or the modern Ottoman Empire, they explore politics in the coolly realistic light of ‘reason of state’, a doctrine prominent in early modern absolutism. They are indebted also to neo-Stoicism. These features are illustrated by a close study of the tense intrigues and double-dealing that dominate the drama Cleopatra (the revised edition of 1680).

'Verdammte Staats-Klugheit / die Treu und Bund heist brechen！罗亨斯坦《克娄巴特拉》中的国家原因

尽管丹尼尔·卡斯帕·冯·罗亨斯坦 (Daniel Casper von Lohenstein)（1635-83 年）的悲剧如今主要为巴洛克专家所了解，但它们充分地回报了人们的关注。他们以古代世界或现代奥斯曼帝国为背景，以“国家理性”的冷静现实主义视角探索政治，这是现代早期专制主义中的一种突出学说。他们也受惠于新斯多葛主义。通过对主导戏剧克利奥帕特拉（1680 年修订版）的紧张阴谋和双重交易的仔细研究，可以说明这些特征。
