There are disclosed a porous material having excellent heat resisting properties and an excellent resistance to heat shock. A porous material contains aggregates and an amorphous binding agent to bind the aggregates to one another in a state where pores are formed among the aggregates, the binding agent contains a rare earth element, the amorphous binding agent preferably contains magnesium, aluminum, silicon, the rare earth element and oxygen, and the amorphous binding agent preferably contains 8.0 to 15.0 mass% of MgO, 30.0 to 60.0 mass% of Al 2 O 3 , 30.0 to 55.0 mass% of SiO 2 , and 1.5 to 10.0 mass% of the rare earth oxide. |
