The paper deals with Suarez's concept of a number as it is put forth in his famous Disputatines Metaphysicae. Suarez's explanation is led by the standard scholastic question with regard to the nature of a number, namely whether a number is the real species of a quantity. Suarez answers the question in a negative way and his main opponents are in this respect Thomists. Suarez rejects the Thomistic concept of a number according to which a number is the real species of a quantity. Suarez's argument is based on the claim that a number is not a being (ens) per se and that is why the Thomistic thesis is not valid. According to Suarez, a number is (broadly speaking) an aggregation of units, which of itself does not have a sufficient type of unity in order that it could constitute a being per se. However, a number has some kind of unity but the unity of a number comes from the cognitive act of our reason which subordinates an aggregation of units under some concept. Only if we consider an aggregation of units with this kind of unity can there be strictly speaking (or formally speaking) a number, e.g. the number of the apostles. A number taken in a formal way then somehow belongs (but not in the strict sense of a word) to the species of a quantity.

The problem of non-being and intentionality has been among the topic subjects of Western philosophers from Parmenides to Quine. In medieval and post-medieval scholastics the issue was articulated mainly as ens rationis (a being of reason). The paper deals with the character and division of beings of reason in Francisco Suarez (1548 - 1617). An immanent critique of Suarez's theory is given as well. The paper offers also a brief outline of the history of its later reception by Baroque authors.

The article presents and analyzes premises of metaphysics in Francisco Suarez, relying on his main work: 'Metaphysical disputations'. It is shown that the starting point of the metaphysics developed by that Spanish Jesuit was the correlative epistemological structure of the formal and objective concept of being as such, which acquires a privileged status due to its unique range. The formal concept, or an act of cognition, is the foundation of unity of the experience of being, whereas the object of that act of cognition makes it possible to encompass the whole world and disregard its specific determinations. The initial premise is complemented with another, in which Suarez establishes real essence as the object of metaphysics, and takes it to encompass not only actual beings, but also possible, scil. inherently consistent beings. Plausibility of these two premises is derived from two senses of the word 'ens'.
