The main hindrance for both Galileo and Descartes in their work was primarily the Catholic Church. Galileo faced significant opposition from the Church due to his support for heliocentrism, which contradicted the Church's teaching at the time. Descartes, while not as directly opposed as Galileo, also had to navigate the philosophical and theological implications of his ideas in a context that was largely influenced by religious doctrine.
