The natures of things are neither exhausted nor even partially given by 'defining essences'.
Gist of Idea
Defining an essence comes no where near giving a thing's nature

A Reaction
A better criticism of essentialism. 'Natures' is a much vaguer word than 'essences', however, because the latter refers to what is stable and important, whereas natures could include any aspect. Being ticklish is in my nature, but not in my essence.
