Classify the following statements about time into their correct philosophical perspectives: 'Time is a linear progression from past to future.'; 'Time is cyclical, repeating in patterns.'; 'Time is an illusion created by human consciousness.'; 'Time is a measurement of change and events.' What categories do these statements belong to?

The first statement fits the linear or progressive view of time, which sees time as a straight line from past to future. The second statement belongs to the cyclical view, where time repeats in patterns or cycles. The third statement is a phenomenological or constructivist claim that time is an illusion created by human consciousness. The fourth statement fits an empirical or realist perspective that defines time as a measurement of change and events. Thus the statements belong to linear, cyclical, phenomenological, and empirical categories respectively.
