Very "gut", thank you for making thease!! If our mind can be viewed as one monad since they are 1 why can one speak of many monads? which is it? if they are one why does he say that monads consist of other monads or are put togheter, which is it? they cant have extensions right, so how can many small monads make a big "thing"?.
They are definitely not the same concept. But nevertheless to have a look into the monadology to see what resembles the photon is interesting. The photon could come close the the notion of aperception of Leibniz. But it is very difficult to reason. Aperception might be seen as the "quant of consciousness" of the monad. I am not very much into Photons yet though.
sorry, to qualify that: photons have a physical effect that we can see, that is, light. monads are wholly spiritual things for Leibniz and so a comparison with physics isn't really anything he would accept.
I am not firm in phenomenology. Leibniz would probably argue the "higher" the monad the more perception within the first, the "lower" the more perception within the second domain.
The amalgum is a selfreflection within each monad on basis of its inherent rules (given by god). Gestalt becomes where perception ends (paradox isn't it?).
I think your comment is worth to think much longer about it.
I have the feeling that phenomenology and monadology are not really compatible - Leibniz is reflecting on the consciousness of Monads not humans. It could be fruitful to start by comparing it with Hegel for research.
leibniz rocks. we are all connected! make sure you check out the character john monad in tv series john from cincinnati (especially episode 2 where we have contributed to the soundtrack!)

Interesting video
Could these monads be photons that we have in quantum mechanics?

So empirical observation, Gestalt is the stuff. The Rational Mind is the apriori thought that makes us sentient, etc.?
The first yields truth through reasoning, the second, of fact through an amalgum of monads inspired and harmonized by a higher being.
I don't understand the logical jump to the perception/inherent truth etc. These must be divinly inspired?
