Focusing in the analysis of the first of the Questions on the Metaphysics of Aristotle by John Duns Scotus, this paper describe how and why Duns Scotus claims that the subiect of Metaphysics ist God. In that Question, Duns Scotus changed his mind about the subiect of Metaphysic, because in his logical Works the substance was the subiect of that science; and in the Ordinatio, the being as being. The first part showsthe Problem and the Structur from the first Question. The second part expounds the objections from Scotus to Avicenna and Averroes, and his first Positionabout the substance as subiect of the metaphysic. After that, the third part indicates how Scoto became to the statement that God and the being as being are subiect of the metaphysic, through the reformulation of the aristotelian concept of the science. Finally, on considers if these extensionbring about a ground change in the Scotus concepcion of metaphysic.
