He was highly intelligent and incredible prolific writer, publishing many papers in a short period of 20 years. He made major advances in many areas including philosophy, mathematics, and religion. The (x,y) coordinate system or Cartesian coordinate system is named after Descartes. Some of his ideas on religion were controversial, so he was non-conformist. His ideas were counter to the teachings of the church. He was courageous, but also pragmatic, as he did not publish his last book, knowing he would be condemned by the Catholic church. You can read more on his personality in the related links. His family ties seem strained at times.
