   It would be possible to maintain the word good as a meaningful term without evil so long as there were things that were not good - say, that were just neutral or bad or otherwise irrelevant to goodness.

   What if there was no evil?

   • It is in this sense that one is correct in asserting that if there was no evil then there could be no good. If "good" applied to everything then there would be no criterion of application and it would evacuate all meaning from the term - saying that something was good would be the same as saying it was "vasat" - which is, it would say nothing.

   Can evil be defeated by Good Men?

   • In response to this, the only way that the wicked and their malevolent designs can be defeated is if good men do likewise—by also forming themselves into organized groups. If this doesn't happen, if good men "do nothing," as in the original quotation, then it is certain (as night follows day) that evil will triumph.

   Should there be a concept of good and evil?

   • It would be uninteresting and unnecessary to have the concept of "good" and it may well be practically inconceivable to the inhabitants of a world like that what evil is (in this case, what it is to not act utilitarian). But that's the concept of good. To be sure, we can imagine worlds where there are no concepts of good and evil.

   Is there a 'no good without evil' claim?

   • Once you get this far in a linguistic analysis, it would seem that the "no good without evil" claim has reached the point where it must suffer so many qualifications as to be quite uninteresting, and neither deep nor meaningful.

   Why is the existence of Evil a problem?

   • When this fact is used as a theological justification for the existence of evil is where it becomes problematic (i.e. in the problem of theodicy), because in the traditional problem of evil the deity is all-powerful, and so the existence of evil necessarily either means the deity is not all-knowing or that it is not all-good.

   Are good and evil mutually arising?

   • This argument is not flawed, as far as explaining the mutual co-arising of good and evil. It's certainly the case that you can't have good without evil anymore than you can have up without down or before without after.
