Through which/ without which = ~ that?
1. The dictionary defines courage as a 'quality which enables one to pursue a right course of action, through which one may provoke disapproval, hostility, or contempy.'
Q1) 'Which' refers to 'a right course of action,' I suppose. Then, can't the pronouns such as it or that replace 'which?'
2. Energe necessarily depends on a pre-existing polarity, without which there could be no energy.
Q2) The same question as in Q1.

Q2 -- The same answer as for Q1.

It is busy referring to 'right course of action'. The sentence would be ungrammatical without it.
