This paper presents the metaphysical theory of Baruch Spinoza’s geometrical God as laid out in his Ethica, Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata of 1677. We will split this study into four sections, i.e. God, the Soul, Knowledge, and Physics, although all the parts of the Ethics relate directly to God, since he constitutes their ultimate basis. In our opinion, Spinoza´s Ethics constitute the highest form of rationalistic monism in modernity, as we will attempt to show in the following pages.
