The article focuses on the philosophical and psychological analysis of the model of «Leibniz’s self-organization of monads». A characteristic feature of Leibniz’s philosophy is the doctrine of many possible worlds. «A world is possible, if it does not contradict the laws of logic». In the real world the good far exceeds the evil. These two concepts are interrelated. There exist infinitely many possible worlds. The most important thing is that a world must not contradict the laws of logic. Leibniz suggested that the world we live in is «the best of all possible worlds». It is like a corollary which follows from the pre-established harmony, for the worlds can be seen from the point of view of logic and the laws of nature. Our unique, real world is more perfect in terms of harmony. The pre-established harmony is expressed in the optimal architectonic of the abstract, sensual and physical worlds. The authors consider «monadology» in the light of the synergy paradigm, from the viewpoint of a new postnonclassical paradigm. In addition, an emphasis is made on the processes of self-organization of the primary elements and the emergence of the phenomenon of consciousness. It is substantiated that the self-organization of small perceptions is the basis of the phenomenon of consciousness. In Leibnizs’s theory, a level of the unconscious is distinguished. The harmony of the real world in a variety of existing worlds is revealed.
