Abstract

 This article presents some questions studied by the catholic Scholastic, especially by Francisco Suárez, and later by the german protestant Scholastic, the so-called Schulmetaphysik, related to the birth of modern ontology between the 16th and 17th centuries, such as object and nature of metaphysics, in a historical line that goes from Suárez to Kant.
