Understanding this quote
The speaker sees the main purpose of morality as helping people live well and thrive. “Human flourishing” points to human well-being in a broad sense, while “for me” shows this is the speaker’s own moral view. The reference to many ethicists presents it as a view they believe is shared by others, not as an unquestionable rule.
