Yes, René Descartes faced several problems throughout his life, both personal and intellectual. He struggled with issues of doubt and skepticism, famously questioning the certainty of knowledge, which led to his development of Cartesian doubt and the cogito ("I think, therefore I am"). Additionally, Descartes experienced conflicts with religious authorities regarding his scientific ideas and faced criticism from contemporaries who disagreed with his philosophical views. These challenges significantly shaped his work and contributions to philosophy and mathematics.
